The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied), excluding amounts related to sales-based royalties, was approximately $5 billion as of June 30, 2022. The timing to fulfill performance obligations related to grant agreements will depend on the results of the Company's research and development activities, including clinical trials, and delivery of doses. The timing to fulfill performance obligations related to APAs will depend on timing of product manufacturing, receipt of marketing authorizations for additional indications, delivery of doses based on customer demand, and the ability of the customer to request variant vaccine in place of the prototype NVX-CoV2373 under certain of our APAs. Failure to meet regulatory milestones, product volume, or delivery timing obligations under the Company’s APA agreements may require the Company to refund portions of upfront payments or result in reduced future payments, which could result in a material and adverse effect on our unsatisfied performance obligations. The remaining unfilled performance obligations not related to grant agreements or APAs are expected to be fulfilled in less than 12 months.

U.S. Government Partnership
The Company’s U.S. government partnership consists of an agreement (“the “OWS Agreement”) with Advanced Technology International, the Consortium Management Firm acting on behalf of the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium in connection with the partnership formerly known as Operation Warp Speed (“OWS”). In July 2021, the U.S. government instructed the Company to prioritize alignment with the FDA on the Company's analytic methods before conducting additional U.S. manufacturing and further indicated that the U.S. government would not fund additional U.S. manufacturing until such alignment was made. In June 2022, the U.S. government agreed to the manufacture and delivery of approximately 3 million doses of NVX-CoV2373 under the OWS Agreement as the Company had completed alignment with the FDA’s analytic methods. The Company updated its estimate-at-completion to reflect the impact of this authorization to the recognition of the fixed fee under the contract. In July 2022, the Company formally modified the OWS Agreement to provide for an initial delivery to the U.S. government of approximately 3 million doses of NVX-CoV2373, and the Company modified its existing agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) to provide for an initial delivery of approximately 0.2 million doses of NVX-CoV2373 (see Note 15).
Royalties and Other
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $1.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, in revenue related to sales-based royalties. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a $20.0 million milestone payment upon the first sale of NVX-CoV2373 in Japan. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized $23.5 million in revenue related to sales-based royalties. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not recognize any revenue related to sales-based royalties.
Advance Purchase Agreements (APAs)
Under the terms of the Company’s contracted supply commitment with Gavi, which includes the supply obligation of its licensed partner, Serum Institute of India Private Limited (“SIIPL”), 1.1 billion doses of NVX-CoV2373 are to be made available to countries participating in the COVAX Facility, which was established to allocate and distribute vaccines equitably to participating countries and economies. The Novavax portion is a supply agreement that contemplates that the Company will manufacture and distribute 350 million doses. Under that agreement with Gavi, the Company received an upfront payment of $350 million from Gavi in 2021 and an additional payment of $350 million in the first quarter of 2022 related to the Company’s achieving WHO Emergency Use Listing. Although Novavax is prepared to deliver the quantities of NVX-CoV2373 doses to Gavi under the terms of the supply agreement, the Company was notified by Gavi of its intent to seek to revise the number and timing of doses of NVX-CoV2373 supplied by Novavax under such agreement. Furthermore, Gavi may seek partial or full recovery of the prior nonrefundable payments it has made to Novavax. The Company’s position is that Gavi has no contractual right to recover prior nonrefundable payments. To date, Novavax has not received an order from Gavi and the timing and quantities of future orders to deliver NVX-CoV2373 to the COVAX facility are unclear.
Under the terms of the Company’s SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Supply Agreement, originally entered into in October 2020 (the “Original UK Supply Agreement”) with The Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, acting on behalf of the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the “Authority”), the Authority agreed to purchase 60 million doses of NVX-CoV2373. In July 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Supply Agreement (the “Amended and Restated UK Supply Agreement”) with the Authority, under which the Authority agreed to purchase a minimum of 1 million doses and up to an additional 15 million doses of NVX-CoV2373, with the number of additional doses contingent on the Company’s timely achievement of supportive recommendations from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (the “JCVI”) (see Note 15).
The Company has an APA with the European Commission (“EC”) acting on behalf of various European Union member states to supply a minimum of 20 million and up to 100 million initial doses of NVX-CoV2373, with the option for the EC to purchase an additional 100 million doses up to a maximum aggregate of 200 million doses in one or more tranches, through 2023. The Company is in the process of finalizing a revised delivery schedule for the remaining 42 million doses of the 70 million previously committed doses under the APA that were originally scheduled for delivery during the first and second quarters of 2022. In July and August 2022, the Company was notified by the EC that it was cancelling 5 million doses of its prior commitment originally scheduled for delivery in the first and second quarters of 2022, in accordance with the APA, and reducing the order to 65 million doses (see Note 15).
