NOTE 3 — COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

(a) Collaboration Agreement with Astellas

In October 2009, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Astellas, or the Astellas Collaboration Agreement. Under the agreement, decision making and economic participation differs between the U.S. market and the ex-U.S. market. In the United States, decisions are generally made by consensus, pre-tax profits and losses are shared equally and subject to certain exceptions, development and commercialization costs (including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to The Regents of the University of California (“UCLA” or “the Regents”) under the Company’s license agreement with UCLA) are also shared equally. The primary exceptions to equal cost sharing in the U.S. market are that each party is responsible for its own commercial full-time equivalent, or FTE, costs, and that development costs supporting marketing approvals in both the United States and either Europe or Japan are borne one-third by the Company and two-thirds by Astellas. The Company and Astellas are co-promoting XTANDI in the U.S. market, with each company providing half of the sales and medical affairs effort in support of the product. Both the Company and Astellas are entitled to receive a fee for each qualifying detail made by its respective sales representatives. Outside the United States, decisions are generally made by Astellas and all development and commercialization costs (including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to UCLA) are borne by Astellas. Astellas retains all ex-U.S. profits and losses, and pays the Company a tiered royalty ranging from the low teens to the low twenties on any aggregate net sales of XTANDI outside the United States, or ex-U.S. XTANDI sales. Astellas has sole responsibility for promoting XTANDI outside the United States and for recording all XTANDI sales both inside and outside the United States. Both the Company and Astellas have agreed not to commercialize certain other products having a similar mechanism of action (as defined by the Astellas Collaboration Agreement) as XTANDI for the treatment of prostate cancer for a specified time period, subject to certain exceptions.

Under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement, Astellas paid the Company a non-refundable, upfront cash payment of $110.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $335.0 million in development milestone payments and up to $320.0 million in sales milestone payments. As of September 30, 2014, the Company has earned an aggregate of $245.0 million in development milestone payments and $25.0 million in sales milestone payments under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement. The Company expects that any of the remaining $90.0 million in development milestone payments and the remaining $295.0 million in sales milestone payments that the Company may earn in future periods will be recognized as revenue in their entirety in the period in which the underlying milestone event is achieved. The Company earned $45.0 million of the remaining development milestone payments in October 2014 which will be recognized as collaboration revenue during the fourth quarter of 2014 as described in the following table.

 

The triggering events for the remaining development milestone payments the Company is eligible to receive under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement as of September 30, 2014 are as follows:

Astellas has a right to terminate the Astellas Collaboration Agreement unilaterally by advance written notice to the Company. Following any termination of the Astellas Collaboration Agreement in its entirety, all rights to develop and commercialize XTANDI will revert to the Company, and Astellas will grant a license to the Company to enable it to continue such development and commercialization. In addition, except in the case of a termination by Astellas for the Company’s material breach, Astellas will supply XTANDI to the Company during a specified transition period.

Collaboration Revenue Related to U.S. XTANDI Sales

Under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement, Astellas records all U.S. XTANDI sales. The Company and Astellas share equally all pre-tax profits and losses from U.S. XTANDI sales. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and Astellas also share equally all XTANDI development and commercialization costs related to the U.S. market, including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to UCLA under the Company’s license agreement with UCLA. The primary exceptions to 50/50 cost sharing are that each party is responsible for its own commercial FTE costs and that development costs supporting marketing approvals in both the United States and either Europe or Japan are borne one-third by the Company and two-thirds by Astellas. The Company recognizes collaboration revenue related to U.S. XTANDI sales in the period in which such sales occur. Collaboration revenue related to U.S. XTANDI sales consists of the Company’s share of pre-tax profits and losses from U.S. sales, plus reimbursement of the Company’s share of reimbursable U.S. development and commercialization costs.
