Collaboration and Other Agreements
Collaboration and Other Agreements
Incyte
In October 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive global collaboration and license agreement with Incyte Corporation (Incyte) for MGA012, an investigational monoclonal antibody that inhibits programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). Incyte has obtained exclusive worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of MGA012 in all indications, while the Company retains the right to develop its pipeline assets in combination with MGA012. The Company received a $150.0 million upfront payment from Incyte when the transaction closed in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Under the terms of the collaboration and license agreement, Incyte will lead global development of MGA012. Assuming successful development and commercialization by Incyte, the Company could receive up to approximately $420.0 million in development and regulatory milestones, and up to $330.0 million in commercial milestones. The Company determined that each potential future clinical and regulatory milestone is substantive.  Although the sales milestones are not considered substantive, they will be recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time.  If commercialized, the Company would be eligible to receive tiered royalties of 15% to 24% on any global net sales. The Company retains the right to develop its pipeline assets in combination with MGA012, with Incyte commercializing MGA012 and the Company commercializing its asset(s), if any such potential combinations are approved. In addition, the Company retains the right to manufacture a portion of both companies' global clinical and commercial supply needs of MGA012. The Company and Incyte have agreed to initiate negotiations for a separate clinical supply agreement that will set forth terms and conditions. Finally, Incyte will fund the Company's activities related to the ongoing monotherapy clinical study until such time as the Company can transfer the Investigational New Drug application (IND) to Incyte.
The Company evaluated the collaboration and license agreement with Incyte and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under the collaboration and license agreement include the delivery of the license and clinical activities through a brief technology transfer period. The Company evaluated the collaboration and license agreement with Incyte and determined that the license and clinical trial activities each represented separate deliverables and were accounted for as separate units of accounting. The Company concluded that the license had standalone value to Incyte and was separable from the clinical trial activities because the license was sublicensable and Incyte has significant capabilities in performing clinical trials.  Thus, the total arrangement consideration for these two deliverables was allocated using the relative best estimate of selling price (BESP) to each deliverable. The BESP for the exclusive license was determined using information from other similar collaboration and license agreements. The BESP for the clinical trial activities was determined using similar arrangements and is estimated at approximately $4.0 million, which will be recognized over the technology transfer period as work is performed and the expenses are reimbursed by Incyte.
The Company recognized revenue of $151.1 million under the Incyte collaboration and license agreement during the year ended December 31, 2017, including the $150.0 million upfront payment and $1.1 million related to clinical trial activities performed.

Roche
In December 2017, the Company entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Roche to jointly discover and develop novel bispecific molecules to undisclosed targets. During the research term, both companies will leverage their respective platforms, including the Company's DART platform and Roche's CrossMAb and DutaFab technologies to select a bispecific format and lead product candidate. Roche would then further develop and commercialize any such product candidate.
Under the terms of this agreement, Roche received rights to use certain of the Company’s intellectual property rights to exploit collaboration compounds and products, and paid the Company an upfront payment of $10.0 million which was received in January 2018. The Company will also be eligible to receive up to $370.0 million in potential milestone payments and royalties on future sales.
The Company evaluated the research collaboration and license agreement with Roche and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under the research collaboration and license agreement include the delivery of the license and activities during the research period. The Company evaluated the collaboration and license agreement with Roche and determined that the license and research activities do not have value on a standalone basis and therefore represented one unit of accounting. The $10.0 million will be recognized over the expected research period, which is 30 months. Each company will be responsible for their own expenses during the research period.
In addition, the Company determined that each potential future development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time.
At December 31, 2017, $10.0 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $4.0 million of which was current and $6.0 million of which was non-current. 

Janssen
In December 2014, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Janssen for the development and commercialization of MGD011 (also known as JNJ-64052781 or duvortuxizumab), a product candidate that incorporates the Company's proprietary DART technology to simultaneously target CD19 and CD3 for the potential treatment of B-cell hematological malignancies (MGD011 Agreement). The Company contemporaneously entered into an agreement with JJDC under which JJDC agreed to purchase 1,923,077 new shares of the Company's common stock for proceeds of $75.0 million.  Upon closing the transaction in January 2015, the Company received a $50.0 million upfront payment from Janssen as well as the $75.0 million investment in the Company's common stock.   In August 2017, Janssen notified the Company that they were terminating the MGD011 Agreement.
Under the MGD011 Agreement, the Company granted an exclusive license to Janssen to develop and commercialize duvortuxizumab. Following the Company's submission of the Investigational New Drug (IND) application, Janssen became fully responsible for the development and commercialization of duvortuxizumab.  
At the inception of the MGD011 Agreement, the Company evaluated it and determined that it was a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations.  The Company's substantive performance obligations under the collaboration and license agreement included the delivery of an exclusive license and research and development services during the preclinical research period (through the filing of the IND for duvortuxizumab).   The Company evaluated the MGD011 Agreement and determined that the license and preclinical research and development activities each represented separate deliverables and were accounted for as separate units of accounting.  The Company concluded that the license had standalone value to Janssen and was separable from the research and development services because the license was sublicensable, there were no restrictions as to Janssen's use of the license and Janssen or other third parties have significant research capabilities in this field.  Thus, the total arrangement consideration for these two deliverables was allocated using the relative BESP method to each deliverable.  The BESP for the exclusive license was determined using a discounted cash flow model that includes Level 3 fair value measurements. The BESP for the research and development services was determined using third party evidence of other similar research and development arrangements, which are Level 2 fair value measurements.
The Company evaluated the stock purchase agreement and the collaboration and license agreement as one arrangement and determined that the stock purchase price of $39.00 per share exceeded the fair value of the common stock by $12.3 million. This excess was recognized in the same manner as the upfront payment allocated to the license and preclinical research and development activities.  Of the total arrangement consideration of $125.0 million, the Company allocated $62.7 million to equity (representing the fair value of common stock purchased), $62.3 million to the license and preclinical research and development activities, and a de minimis amount to the ongoing research and development activities.  The Company submitted the IND application and therefore met its performance obligation during the year ended December 31, 2015.
In July 2015, Janssen dosed the first patient in an open-label Phase 1 study of duvortuxizumab which triggered a $10.0 million milestone to the Company.  No revenue was recognized under the MGD011 Agreement during the year ended December 31, 2017. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $2.0 million and $72.3 million, respectively, under the MGD011 agreement.
In May 2016, the Company entered into a separate collaboration and license agreement with Janssen, a related party through ownership of the Company's common stock, for the development and commercialization of MGD015, a product candidate that incorporates the Company's proprietary DART technology to simultaneously target CD3 and an undisclosed tumor target for the potential treatment of various hematological malignancies and solid tumors (MGD015 Agreement). Under the MGD015 Agreement, the Company granted an exclusive license to Janssen to develop and commercialize MGD015. The Company received a $75.0 million upfront payment from Janssen upon closing the transaction. In January 2018, Janssen notified the Company that they were terminating the MGD015 Agreement.

At the inception of the MGD015 Agreement, the Company evaluated it and determined that it was a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations.  The Company's substantive performance obligations under the MGD015 Agreement included the delivery of an exclusive license and research and development services during the preclinical research period.   The Company evaluated the MGD015 Agreement with Janssen and determined that the license and preclinical research and development activities each represented separate deliverables and were accounted for as two separate units of accounting.  The Company concluded that the license had standalone value to Janssen and was separable from the research and development services because the license was sublicensable, there were no restrictions as to Janssen's use of the license and Janssen or other third parties have significant research capabilities in this field.  Thus, the total arrangement consideration for these two deliverables was allocated using the BESP method to each deliverable.  The BESP for the exclusive license was determined using information from the previous collaboration and license agreement with Janssen as well as other third party collaboration and license agreements, which are Level 2 fair value measurements. The BESP for the research and development services was determined using other similar research and development arrangements, which are also Level 2 fair value measurements.

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized revenue of $0.6 million and $75.8 million, respectively, under the MGD015 Agreement. Revenue recognized in 2016 included the $75.0 million upfront fee for the exclusive license.

Takeda
In May 2014, the Company entered into a license and option agreement with Takeda for the development and commercialization of MGD010, a product candidate that incorporates the Company's proprietary DART technology to simultaneously engage CD32B and CD79B, which are two B-cell surface proteins.  MGD010 is being developed for the treatment of autoimmune disorders.  Upon execution of the agreement, Takeda made a non-refundable payment of $15.0 million to the Company.  Takeda had an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license for MGD010 following the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study.  Following the announcement of its therapeutic area re-prioritization, Takeda gave formal notification in September 2016 that it did not intend to exercise this option.  As a result of Takeda not exercising the option, the Company regained worldwide development and commercialization rights to MGD010.
At the inception of the license and option agreement with Takeda, the Company evaluated it and determined that it was a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company's substantive performance obligations under the license and option agreement included exclusivity, research and development services through the Phase 1a study and delivery of a future license for an initial research compound.  The Company concluded that the MGD010 option was substantive and that the license fee payable upon exercise of the option was not a deliverable at the inception of the arrangement as there was considerable uncertainty that the option would be exercised. The Company determined that each potential future clinical and regulatory milestone was substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time.   The Company determined that these performance obligations represent a single unit of accounting, because the exclusivity clause does not have stand-alone value to Takeda without the Company's technical expertise and development through the pre-defined Phase 1a study.
After identifying the deliverables included within the arrangement, the Company determined its best estimate of selling price.  The Company allocated $10.0 million to the exclusivity clause to its technology and the research and development services and $5.0 million to the exclusive license for the initial research compound.  The Company's determination of best estimate of selling price for the research and development services relied upon other similar transactions.  The Company relied upon the income approach (e.g., discounted future cash flows) to determine the value of the license of the to-be-delivered compound along with other similar license transactions with differing indications but similar stage of development. The portion of the up-front fee allocated to the MGD010 option was being recognized over an initial 24-month period, which represented the expected period of development through the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study.  During the first quarter of 2016, the Company determined that the development period would be extended by eight months, and prospectively adjusted the MGD010 option fee recognition period.  The portion of the up-front fee allocated to the license for the initial research compound was deferred until the research collaboration and license option agreement was executed and the license delivered in September 2014.  Upon the notification that Takeda would not exercise the option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license for MGD010 during the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company's performance obligation to Takeda ceased, and the remaining deferred revenue under the MGD010 agreement was recognized in full.
No revenue under was recognized under this agreement during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $2.1 million and $8.0 million under the MGD010 agreement during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  Revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2015 included a $3.0 million milestone payment received upon initiation of a Phase 1a trial of MGD010.   No revenue was deferred under this agreement at December 31, 2017 or 2016

Servier
In September 2012, the Company entered into a right-to-develop collaboration agreement with Servier and granted it options to obtain three separate exclusive licenses to develop and commercialize DART molecules, consisting of those designated by the Company as MGD006 (or flotetuzumab) (also known as S80880) and MGD007, as well as a third DART molecule, in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. During 2014, Servier exercised its exclusive option to develop and commercialize flotetuzumab, and during 2016 Servier notified the Company that it did not intend to exercise the option for the third DART molecule. Servier retains the option to obtain a license for MGD007.
Upon execution of the agreement, Servier made a nonrefundable payment of $20.0 million to the Company. In addition, the Company will be eligible to receive up to $40.0 million in license fees, $63.0 million in clinical milestone payments, $188.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and $420.0 million in sales milestone payments if Servier exercises the remaining available options and successfully develops, obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes a product under each license. In addition to these milestones, the Company and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Under this agreement, Servier would be obligated to pay the Company from low double-digit to mid-teen royalties on net product sales in its territories.
The Company evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Servier and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company concluded that each option is substantive and that the license fees for each option are not deliverables at the inception of the arrangement and were not issued with a substantial discount. The Company's substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusivity clause to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the preclinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company's technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the initial upfront license payment was deferred and initially recognized ratably over a 29-month period, which represented the expected development period. During 2014, the Company and Servier further refined the research plan related to the three DART molecules and as such, the development period was extended.  Based on this revised development period, the Company prospectively adjusted its period of recognition of the upfront payment to a 75-month period. The impact of this change in accounting estimate reduced revenue that would have been recognized in 2014 by $3.7 million.
As a result of Servier exercising its option in 2014, the Company received a $15.0 million payment from Servier for its license to develop and commercialize flotetuzumab in its territories.  Upon exercise of the option, the Company evaluated its performance obligations with respect to the license for flotetuzumab. The Company's substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusive license to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the clinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company's technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the $15.0 million license fee was deferred and was being recognized ratably over a period of 82 months, which represented the expected development period for flotetuzumab.  During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company and Servier determined that the expected development period should be extended to 124 months.  The impact of this change in accounting estimate reduced revenue that would have been recognized in 2017 by $0.8 million. In accordance with the agreement, the Company and Servier will share costs incurred to develop flotetuzumab.  Reimbursement of research and development expenses received in connection with this collaborative cost-sharing agreement is recorded as a reduction to research and development expense.  During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the Company recorded approximately $3.2 million, $2.6 million and $0.5 million as an offset to research and development costs under this collaboration arrangement, respectively.  
During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the Company recognized revenue of $2.5 million, $3.3 million, and $3.5 million, respectively, under this agreement.  At December 31, 2017, $8.5 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $2.3 million of which was current and $6.2 million of which was non-current. At December 31, 2016, $11.1 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $3.3 million of which was current and $7.8 million of which was non-current. 
Boehringer
In October 2010 the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Boehringer to discover, develop and commercialize multiple DART molecules that were to be evaluated during a five-year period that ended in October 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company granted Boehringer an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, license under its intellectual property to research, develop, and market DART molecules generated under the agreement.
Upon execution of the agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $15.0 million. The Company subsequently received three annual maintenance payments. These maintenance payments were being recognized over the estimated period of development. The Company has the potential to earn additional milestone payments of approximately $34.0 million related to preclinical and clinical development, $88.5 million related to regulatory milestones and $82.5 million related to sales milestones for each of the two ongoing programs under this agreement. The Company determined that each potential future preclinical, clinical and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Boehringer would be required to pay the Company mid-single digit royalties on product sales.
The Company determined that the deliverables under the Boehringer agreement include the license, the research and development services to be performed by the Company, and the co-promotion/manufacturing services. The Company concluded that the co-promotional activities were optional and were subject to further negotiation upon reaching regulatory approval. As such, the co-promotional period is not included in the expected obligation period to perform services.
The Company concluded that the undelivered element of research and development services had fair value. The Company concluded that the license did not have value on a standalone basis (e.g. absent the provision of the research and development services) and therefore did not represent a separate unit of accounting. The Company concluded that because the drug candidate had not yet been developed, the license was of no value to Boehringer without the ensuing research and development activities using the DART technology, which is proprietary to the Company. Likewise, Boehringer could not sell the license to another party (without the Company agreeing to provide the research and development activities for the other party). Therefore, the upfront license fee and research and development services were treated as a combined unit of accounting and recognized over the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services through October 2015, which represented the estimated period of development.
The Company and Boehringer also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties' activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable. However, had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement as the period of participation in this committee matched the obligation period for the research and development services.
The Company recognized no revenue under this agreement during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company recognized revenue of approximately $12.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 under this agreement, including a payment of $5.0 million for the achievement of preclinical milestones. No revenue was deferred under this agreement at December 31, 2017 or 2016.
Green Cross
In June 2010, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Green Cross Corp. (Green Cross) for the development of the Company's anti-HER2 antibody margetuximab. This arrangement grants Green Cross an exclusive license to conduct specified Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials and commercialize margetuximab in South Korea. In March 2014, the Company and Green Cross entered into an amendment to the original agreement, causing the terms of the original agreement to be materially modified.
Upon execution of the amendment, the Company became eligible to receive reimbursement for costs incurred for Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials up to $5.5 million as well as clinical development and commercial milestone payments of up to $2.5 million. The Company determined that each potential clinical development and commercial milestone is substantive. The Company is also entitled to receive royalties on net sales of margetuximab in South Korea. The Company and Green Cross have formed a joint steering committee to coordinate and oversee activities on which the companies collaborate under the agreement.
The Company evaluated the collaboration agreement with Green Cross and determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables or performance obligations. As a result of the material modification to the arrangement in March 2014, the Company reassessed the entire arrangement in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements (Revenue Recognition) as the original agreement was accounted for prior to adopting ASU 2009-13. The Company's substantive performance obligations under this agreement include an exclusive license to its technologies, research and development services, and participation in a joint steering committee. The Company concluded that the license and the reimbursements for research and development services do not have value on a standalone basis and therefore do not represent separate units of accounting.
The initial $1.0 million upfront payment received by the Company upon execution of the original agreement is non-refundable; as such, there is no right of return for the license. Therefore, the upfront license fee and participation on the joint steering committee were treated as a combined unit of accounting and will be recognized over the term of the agreement through June 2020. Further, due to the fact the research and development services are not deemed to have stand-alone value, revenue for those services will be recognized over the entire term of the agreement (through June 2020). As a result of reassessing the arrangement in accordance with ASC 605-25, the Company was required to record an adjustment on the date of the material modification to reflect the revenue that would have resulted had the entity applied the requirements of ASC 605-25 from the inception of the agreement.  As a result, the Company recorded an additional $1.3 million of revenue during 2014. The Company has received a total of $5.5 million through December 31, 2017 for reimbursement of research and development services, which is also being recognized over the remaining term of the agreement.
The Company recognized revenues of approximately $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.5 million under this agreement during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  No milestones were achieved under this agreement during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
At December 31, 2017, $2.3 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $0.9 million of which was current and $1.4 million of which was non-current.  At December 31, 2016, $3.2 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $0.9 million of which was current and $2.3 million of which was non-current.
NIAID Contract
The Company entered into a contract with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), effective as of September 15, 2015, to perform product development and to advance up to two DART molecules, including MGD014. Under this contract, the Company will develop these product candidates for Phase 1/2 clinical trials as therapeutic agents, in combination with latency reversing treatments, to deplete cells infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This contract includes a base period of $7.5 million to support development of MGD014 through IND application submission with the FDA, as well as up to $17.0 million in additional development funding via NIAID options. Should NIAID fully exercise such options, the Company could receive total payments of up to $24.5 million. The total potential period of performance under the award is from September 15, 2015 through September 14, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2017, NIAID exercised the first option in the amount of $10.8 million. The Company recognized revenue of $1.7 million, $5.1 million and $0.2 million in revenue under this contract during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
