Acquisitions

Business Combination

Celgene

On November 20, 2019, BMS completed the Celgene acquisition. The acquisition is expected to create a leading biopharmaceutical company, well positioned for sustained innovation and long-term growth and to address the needs of patients with cancer, inflammatory, immunologic or cardiovascular diseases through high-value innovative medicines and leading scientific capabilities. Each share of Celgene common stock was converted into a right to receive one share of BMS common stock and $50.00 in cash. Celgene shareholders also received one tradeable contingent value right (“CVR”) for each share of Celgene common stock representing the right to receive $9.00 in cash, subject to the achievement of future regulatory milestones.

The aggregate cash paid in connection with the Celgene acquisition was $35.7 billion (or $24.6 billion net of cash acquired). BMS funded the acquisition through cash on-hand and debt proceeds, as described in “—Note 9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.”

The transaction was accounted for as a business combination which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is preliminary and subject to change, including the valuation of inventory, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and income taxes and legal contingencies among other items. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date.

The total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:

(a)
Intangible assets consists of currently marketed product rights of approximately $44.5 billion (amortized over 5.1 years calculated using the weighted-average useful life of the assets) and IPRD of approximately $19.5 billion (not amortized), and were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. This method starts with a forecast of all of the expected future net cash flows associated with the asset and then involves adjusting the forecast to present value by applying an appropriate discount rate that reflects the risk factors associated with the cash flow streams.
(b)
Amount includes $381 million of inventory, $13.0 billion of developed product rights, $19 million of accrued liabilities and $5 million of other non-current liabilities. Refer to “—Divestitures” for more information.
(c)
Goodwill represents the going-concern value associated with future product discovery beyond the existing pipeline and expected value of synergies resulting from cost savings and avoidance not attributed to identifiable assets. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

BMS's Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2019, include $1.9 billion of Revenues and $1.6 billion of Net Loss associated with the result of operations of Celgene from the acquisition date to December 31, 2019.

Acquisition expenses were $657 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, including financial advisory, legal, proxy filing, regulatory, financing fees and hedge costs.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared as if the Celgene acquisition and the Otezla* divestiture had occurred on January 1, 2018. The unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated results do not purport to reflect what the combined Company's results of operations would have been nor do they project the future results of operations of the combined Company. The unaudited supplemental pro forma consolidated results reflect the historical financial information of BMS and Celgene, adjusted to give effect to the Celgene acquisition and the Otezla* divestitures as if it had occurred on January 1, 2018, primarily for the following adjustments:

Amortization expenses primarily related to fair value adjustments to Celgene's intangible assets, inventories and debt.
Non-recurring acquisition-related costs directly attributable to the Celgene acquisition and tax expense directly attributable to the Otezla* divestiture.
Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing fees, attributable to the Celgene acquisition financing.
Elimination of historical revenue and expenses related to Otezla*. Refer to “—Divestitures.”

The above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact using an estimated weighted-average statutory tax rate applied to the applicable pro forma adjustments.

Asset Acquisitions

Certain transactions are accounted for as asset acquisitions since they were determined not to be a business as that term is defined in ASC 805 primarily because no significant processes were acquired. As a result, the amounts allocated to the lead investigational compounds are expensed and not capitalized.

In 2017, BMS acquired all of the outstanding shares of IFM Therapeutics, Inc. (“IFM”), a private biotechnology company focused on developing therapies that modulate novel targets in the innate immune system to treat cancer, autoimmunity and inflammatory diseases. The acquisition provided BMS with full rights to IFM's preclinical STING and NLRP3 agonist programs focused on enhancing the innate immune response for treating cancer. The transaction price included an upfront payment of $325 million and contingent consideration of $2.0 billion. The up-front payment was included in Research and development expense except for $14 million that was allocated to net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Contingent consideration includes development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments, of which $25 million was included in Research and development expense in both 2019 and 2018, following the commencement of two Phase I clinical studies. BMS may pay up to $555 million in additional contingent milestones for any subsequent products selected from IFM's preclinical STING and NLRP3 agonist programs.

Research and development expense also includes $60 million in 2018 and $450 million in 2017 resulting from the occurrence of certain development and regulatory events attributed to asset acquisition completed prior to 2017, including Flexus Biosciences, Inc., Cardioxyl Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Cormorant Pharmaceuticals.

Otezla*

In order to complete the Celgene acquisition, BMS was required by the FTC to divest certain products. To allow the acquisition to close on a timely basis in light of concerns expressed by the FTC, Celgene entered into a purchase agreement with Amgen on August 25, 2019 under which Amgen would acquire the global rights to Otezla* (apremilast) for $13.4 billion of cash. On November 21, 2019, BMS completed the divestiture of Otezla* to Amgen. The transaction was accounted for as an asset divestiture. Otezla* was acquired as part of the Celgene acquisition and was classified as held-for-sale at the time of the acquisition. The estimated fair value of Otezla* net assets consisted of $13.0 billion of developed product rights and $381 million of inventory.

UPSA Business

In 2019, BMS sold its UPSA consumer health business, including the shares of UPSA SAS and BMS's assets and liabilities relating to the UPSA product portfolio, to Taisho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business. The UPSA business was treated as a single disposal group held-for-sale as of December 31, 2018.

Diabetes Business

In February 2014, BMS and AstraZeneca terminated their diabetes business alliance agreements and BMS sold to AstraZeneca substantially all of the diabetes business comprising the alliance. Consideration for the transaction included tiered royalty payments ranging from 10% to 25% based on net sales through 2025. Royalties were $533 million in 2019, $457 million in 2018 and $229 million in 2017. Contingent consideration of $100 million was received in 2017 resulting in an additional gain upon achievement of a regulatory approval milestone.

In September 2015, BMS transferred a percentage of its future royalty rights on Amylin net product sales in the U.S. to CPPIB. The transferred rights represent approximately 70% of potential future royalties BMS is entitled to in 2019 to 2025. In exchange for the transfer, BMS received an additional tiered-based royalty on Amylin net product sales in the U.S. from CPPIB in 2016 through 2018 including $45 million in 2018 and $100 million in 2017, and paid $48 million in 2019.

In November 2017, BMS transferred a percentage of its future royalty rights on a portion of Onglyza* and Farxiga* net product sales to Royalty Pharma. The transferred rights represent approximately 20% to 25% of potential future royalties BMS is entitled to for those products in 2020 to 2025. In exchange for the transfer, BMS received an additional tiered-based royalty on Onglyza* and Farxiga* net product sales from Royalty Pharma including $165 million in 2019 and $159 million in 2018.

Erbitux* Business

BMS had a commercialization agreement with Lilly through Lilly’s subsidiary ImClone for the co-development and promotion of Erbitux* in the U.S., Canada and Japan. BMS was the principal in the end customer product sales in North America and paid Lilly a distribution fee for 39% of Erbitux* net sales in North America plus a share of certain royalties paid by Lilly.

In October 2015, BMS transferred its rights to Erbitux* in North America to Lilly in exchange for tiered sales-based royalties through September 2018, including $145 million in 2018 and $207 million in 2017.

BMS transferred its co-commercialization rights in Japan to Merck KGaA in 2015 in exchange for sales-based royalties through 2032. Royalties earned were $17 million in 2017. As a result of the adoption of ASC 610 in the first quarter of 2018, estimated future royalties resulting from the transfer of rights to Merck KGaA were recorded as a cumulative effect adjustment in Retained earnings. A $23 million change in estimated future royalties was included in 2019.

Manufacturing Operations

In 2019, BMS sold its manufacturing and packaging facility in Anagni, Italy to Catalent Inc. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business. The divestiture includes the transfer of the facility, the majority of employees at the site, inventories and certain third-party contract manufacturing obligations. The assets were reduced to their relative fair value after considering the purchase price resulting in an impairment charge of $121 million that was included in Cost of products sold. Catalent Inc. will provide certain manufacturing and packaging services for BMS for a period of time.

In 2017, BMS sold its small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing operations in Swords, Ireland to SK Biotek Co., Ltd. Proceeds were received in the first quarter of 2018. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business. The divestiture includes the transfer of the facility, the majority of employees at the site, inventories and certain third-party contract manufacturing obligations. The assets were reduced to their relative fair value after considering the purchase price resulting in an impairment charge of $146 million that was included in Cost of products sold. SK Biotek Co., Ltd. will provide certain manufacturing services for BMS for a period of time.

Plavix* and Avapro*/Avalide*

Sanofi reacquired BMS's co-development and co-commercialization agreements for Plavix* and Avapro*/Avalide* in 2013. Consideration for the transfer of rights included quarterly royalties through December 31, 2018 and a $200 million terminal payment received in 2018 of which $120 million was allocated to opt-out markets and $80 million was allocated to BMS's 49.9% interest in the Europe and Asia territory partnership. Royalties expected to be received in 2018 and the portion of terminal payment allocated to opt-out markets was reflected as a contract asset and cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of ASC 610 in 2018 as BMS had fulfilled its performance obligation. The $80 million allocated to BMS's partnership interest was deferred as of December 31, 2018 and recognized when transferred to Sanofi in 2019.

Royalties earned from Sanofi in the territory covering the Americas and Australia and opt-out markets were presented in Alliance revenues and aggregated $26 million in 2018 and $200 million in 2017. Royalties attributed to the territory covering Europe and Asia earned by the territory partnership and paid to BMS were included in equity in net loss/(income) of affiliates and amounted to $96 million in 2018 and $95 million in 2017.
Investigational HIV Business

In 2016, BMS sold its investigational HIV medicines business consisting of a number of R&D programs at different stages of discovery and development to ViiV Healthcare. BMS received $350 million and is also entitled to receive from ViiV Healthcare contingent development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $1.1 billion, sales-based milestone payments of up to $4.3 billion and future tiered royalties. BMS earned transitional fees of $10 million for certain R&D and other services in 2017.

Mature Brands and Other
Divestitures include several brands sold to Cheplapharm resulting in proceeds of $153 million and divestiture gains of $127 million in 2018.

Licensing and Other Arrangements

Halozyme

In 2017, BMS and Halozyme entered into a global collaboration and license agreement to develop subcutaneously administered BMS IO medicines using Halozyme's ENHANZE* drug-delivery technology. This technology may allow for more rapid delivery of large volume injectable medications through subcutaneous delivery. BMS paid $105 million to Halozyme for access to the technology which was included in Research and development expense. BMS designated multiple IO targets, including PD-1, to develop using the ENHANZE* technology and has an option to select additional targets within five years from the effective date up to a maximum of 11 targets. BMS may pay contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones up to $160 million if achieved for each of the nominated collaboration targets, additional milestone payments for combination products and future royalties on sales of products using the ENHANZE* technology.

CytomX

In 2017, BMS expanded its strategic collaboration with CytomX to discover novel therapies using CytomX’s proprietary Probody platform. As part of the original May 2014 collaboration to discover, develop and commercialize Probody therapeutics, BMS selected four oncology targets, including CTLA-4. Pursuant to the expanded agreement, CytomX granted BMS exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize Probody therapeutics for up to eight additional targets. BMS paid CytomX $75 million for the rights to the initial four targets which was expensed as R&D prior to 2017. BMS paid $200 million to CytomX for access to the additional targets which was included in Research and development expense in 2017. BMS will also reimburse CytomX for certain research costs over the collaboration period, pay contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones up to $448 million if achieved for each collaboration target and future royalties.

Biogen

In 2017, BMS out-licensed to Biogen exclusive rights to develop and commercialize BMS-986168, an anti-eTau compound in development for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Alzheimer's disease. Biogen paid $300 million to BMS which was included in Other (income)/expense, net. BMS is also entitled to contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments of up to $360 million if achieved and future royalties. BMS originally acquired the rights to this compound in 2014 through its acquisition of iPierian, Inc. Biogen assumed all of BMS’s applicable remaining obligations to the former stockholders of iPierian, Inc.

Roche

In 2017, BMS out-licensed to Roche exclusive rights to develop and commercialize BMS-986089, an anti-myostatin adnectin in development for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Roche paid $170 million to BMS which was included in Other (income)/expense, net. Roche has ceased the development in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in 2019.

F-Star

In 2014, BMS acquired an exclusive option to purchase F-Star and its lead asset FS102, an anti-HER2 antibody fragment, in development for the treatment of breast and gastric cancer among a well-defined population of HER2-positive patients. In 2017, BMS discontinued development of FS102 and did not exercise its option, resulting in an IPRD charge of $75 million included in Research and development expense and attributed to noncontrolling interest.
