Acquisitions

Business Combination

Celgene

On November 20, 2019, BMS completed the Celgene acquisition. The acquisition is expected to further position BMS as a leading biopharmaceutical company 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 assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized. The measurement period adjustments reflected in 2020 primarily resulted from completing valuations of real estate and personal property, revised future cash flow estimates for certain intangible assets, changes in the estimated tax basis of certain intangible assets based upon a tax ruling which reduced deferred income tax liabilities and other changes to certain equity investments, legal contingency and income tax liabilities. The related impact to net earnings that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments were recognized as of the acquisition date was not material to the consolidated financial statements.
The total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:

(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

MyoKardia

On November 17, 2020, BMS acquired MyoKardia a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a precision medicine approach to discover, develop and commercialize targeted therapies for the treatment of serious cardiovascular diseases. BMS, through a subsidiary, completed a tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of MyoKardia’s common stock and accepted all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the expiration time of the tender offer for $225.00 per share, or $13.1 billion, including cash settlements of equity stock awards. The acquisition provides BMS with rights to MyoKardia’s lead asset, mavacamten, a potential first-in-class cardiovascular medicine for the treatment of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that has completed Phase III development with an anticipated NDA submission in the first quarter of 2021.

BMS funded the transaction through a combination of cash on hand from its operations and net proceeds received in connection with the 2020 senior unsecured notes offering. The consideration transferred was allocated based on the relative fair value of gross assets acquired. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition since mavacamten represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (excluding cash and deferred income taxes). As a result, an $11.4 billion IPRD charge was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The following summarizes the total consideration transferred and allocation of consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

(b)    Includes IPRD of $11.4 billion (of which $11.1 billion related to mavacamten) and licenses of $115 million.

Forbius

In 2020, BMS acquired all of the outstanding shares of Forbius, a privately held, clinical-stage protein engineering company that designs and develops biotherapeutics for the treatment of cancer and fibrotic diseases. The acquisition provides BMS with full rights to Forbius’s TGF-beta program, including the program’s lead investigational asset, AVID200, which is in Phase I development. BMS accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition since AVID200 represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. The transaction price included an upfront payment of $185 million and contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments up to $815 million. The up-front payment was included in Research and development expense except for $7 million that was allocated to deferred tax assets.

Other

Research and development expense also includes $100 million in 2020 and $60 million in 2018 resulting from the occurrence of certain development events attributed to the Cormorant asset acquisition completed in 2016.

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 $673 million in 2020, $533 million in 2019 and $457 million in 2018.

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 paid $39 million in 2020 and $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, and paid $67 million in 2020.

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.

BMS transferred its co-commercialization rights in Japan to Merck KGaA in 2015 in exchange for sales-based royalties through 2032. As a result of the adoption of ASC 610 in 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 included 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 of $160 million were received in 2018. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business. The divestiture included the transfer of the facility, the majority of employees at the site, inventories and certain third-party contract manufacturing obligations.

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 as an equity investment gain 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. 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.
Otezla*

In order to complete the Celgene acquisition, BMS was required by the FTC to divest certain products. On November 21, 2019, BMS completed the divestiture of Otezla* (apremilast) to Amgen for $13.4 billion of cash. 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 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. The transaction was accounted for as the sale of a business.

Mature Brands and Other

In 2020, a mature brand was sold resulting in proceeds of $50 million and divestiture gains of $49 million. In 2018, several mature brands were sold to Cheplapharm resulting in proceeds of $153 million and divestiture gains of $127 million.

Tecentriq* Patent License

In 2020, BMS and Ono entered a global patent license agreement with Roche Group related to Tecentriq* (atezolizumab), Roche’s anti-PD-L1 antibody. Under the agreement, Roche paid $324 million which included royalties for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and will pay single-digit royalties on worldwide net sales of Tecentriq* through December 31, 2026. The upfront payment and royalties will be shared between BMS and Ono consistent with existing agreements. BMS recorded $239 million in Other (income)/expense, net for the settlement and $19 million for royalties in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Dragonfly

In 2020, BMS obtained a global exclusive license to Dragonfly’s interleukin-12 (IL-12) investigational immunotherapy program, including its extended half-life cytokine DF6002. BMS will be responsible for the development and any subsequent commercialization of DF6002 and its related products worldwide, including strategic decisions, regulatory responsibilities, funding, and manufacturing. Dragonfly will continue to be involved in the development of DF6002 in current and certain future Phase I/II clinical trials. BMS paid $475 million to Dragonfly for the rights in 2020 including $75 million following the commencement of a Phase I combination clinical study (included in Research and development expense). Dragonfly is eligible to receive additional contingent consideration comprised of development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments up to $2.7 billion and royalties on global net sales.
