Janssen Biotech

In February 2018, the Company entered into a global co-development and commercialization agreement with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (“Janssen”) for TD-1473 and related back-up compounds for inflammatory intestinal diseases, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease (the “Janssen Agreement”). Under the terms of the Janssen Agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $100.0 million. The Company is conducting a Phase 2 (DIONE) study of TD-1473 in Crohn’s disease and a Phase 2b/3 (RHEA) induction and maintenance study of TD-1473 in ulcerative colitis. Following the initial Phase 2 development period, including the completion of the Phase 2 Crohn’s study and the Phase 2b induction portion of the ulcerative colitis study, Janssen can elect to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize TD-1473 and certain related back-up compounds by paying us a fee of $200.0 million. Upon any such election, the Company and Janssen will jointly develop and commercialize TD-1473 in inflammatory intestinal diseases and share profits in the US and expenses related to Phase 3 development and registration activities (67% to Janssen; 33% to Theravance Biopharma). The Company would receive royalties on ex-US sales at double-digit tiered percentage royalty rates, and the Company would be eligible to receive up to an additional $700.0 million in development and commercialization milestone payments from Janssen.

The Janssen Agreement is considered to be within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”), as the parties are active participants and exposed to the risks and rewards of the collaborative activity. The Company evaluated the terms of the Janssen Agreement and have analogized to Accounting Standards Codification, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) for the research and development activities to be performed through the initial Phase 2 development period of the collaborative arrangement that are considered to be part of the Company’s ongoing major or central operations. Using the concepts of ASC 606, the Company has identified research and development activities as its only performance obligation. The Company further determined that the transaction price under the arrangement was the $100.0 million upfront payment which was allocated to the single performance obligation.

The $900.0 million in future potential payments, inclusive of $200.0 million opt-in fee and $700.0 million future development and commercialization milestones, is considered variable consideration if Janssen elects to remain in the collaboration arrangement following completion of the initial Phase 2 development period, as described above and, as such, was not included in the transaction price, as the potential payments were all determined to be fully constrained under ASC 606. As part of the Company’s evaluation of this variable consideration constraint, it determined that the potential payments are contingent upon developmental and regulatory milestones that are uncertain and are highly susceptible to factors outside of its control. The Company expects that any consideration related to royalties and sales-based milestones will be recognized when the subsequent sales occur.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $7.4 million and $12.7 million, respectively, as revenue from collaboration arrangements related to the Janssen Agreement. The remaining transaction price of $56.2 million was recorded in deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is expected to be recognized as collaboration revenue as the research and development services are delivered over the initial Phase 2 development period. Collaboration revenue is recognized for the research and development services based on a measure of the Company’s efforts toward satisfying the performance obligation relative to the total expected efforts or inputs to satisfy the performance obligation (e.g., costs incurred compared to total budget). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred $9.0 million and $17.7 million, respectively, in research and development costs related to the Janssen Agreement, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company incurred $11.1 million and $17.6 million,

respectively, in research and development costs related to the Janssen Agreement. In future reporting periods, the Company will reevaluate the Company’s estimates related to its efforts towards satisfying the performance obligation and may record a change in estimate if deemed necessary.

Mylan

In January 2015, the Company and Mylan Ireland Limited (“Mylan”) established a strategic collaboration (the “Mylan Agreement”) for the development and commercialization of revefenacin, including YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution. The Company entered into the collaboration to expand the breadth of its revefenacin development program and extend its commercial reach beyond the hospital setting.

Under the Mylan Agreement, Mylan paid the Company an upfront fee of $15.0 million for the delivery of the revefenacin license in 2015 and, in 2016, Mylan paid the Company a milestone payment $15.0 million for the achievement of 50% enrollment in the Phase 3 twelve-month safety study. Separately, pursuant to an agreement to purchase ordinary shares entered into on January 30, 2015, Mylan Inc., a subsidiary of Mylan N.V., made a $30.0 million equity investment in the Company, buying 1,585,790 ordinary shares from the Company in February 2015 in a private placement transaction at a price of approximately $18.918 per share, which represented a 10% premium, equal to $4.2 million, over the volume weighted-average price per share of the Company’s ordinary shares for the five trading days ending on January 30, 2015.

Under the Mylan Agreement, as of June 30, 2019, the Company is eligible to receive from Mylan potential global (ex-China and adjacent territories) development, regulatory and sales milestone payments totaling up to $205.0 million in the aggregate, with $160.0 million associated with YUPELRI monotherapy, and $45.0 million associated with future potential combination products. Of the $160.0 million associated with monotherapy, $150.0 million relates to sales milestones based on achieving certain levels of net sales and $10.0 million relates to regulatory actions in the EU. The $45.0 million associated with future potential combination products relates solely to development and regulatory actions.

The Mylan Agreement is considered to be within the scope of ASC 808, as the parties are active participants and exposed to the risks and rewards of the collaborative activity. Under the terms of the Mylan Agreement, Mylan was responsible for reimbursement of the Company’s costs related to the registrational program up until the approval of the first new drug application in November 2018, thereafter, R&D expenses are shared. Performing R&D services for reimbursement is considered to be a collaborative activity under the scope of ASC 808. Reimbursable program costs are recognized proportionately with the performance of the underlying services and accounted for as reductions to R&D expense. For this unit of account, the Company did not recognize revenue or analogize to ASC 606 and, as such, the reimbursable program costs are excluded from the transaction price.

The Company analogized to ASC 606 for the accounting for two performance obligations: (1) delivery of the license to develop and commercialize revefenacin; and (2) joint steering committee participation. The Company determined the license to be distinct from the joint steering committee participation. The Company further determined that the transaction price under the arrangement was comprised of the following: (1) $15.0 million upfront license fee received in 2015; (2) $4.2 million premium related to the ordinary share purchase agreement received in 2015; and (3) $15.0 million milestone for 50% enrollment in the Phase 3 twelve-month safety study received in 2016. The total transaction price of $34.2 million was allocated to the two performance obligations based on the Company’s best estimate of the relative stand-alone selling price. For the delivery of the license, the Company based the stand-alone selling price on a discounted cash flow approach and considered several factors including, but not limited to: discount rate, development timeline, regulatory risks, estimated market demand and future revenue potential. For the committee participation, the Company based the stand-alone selling price on the average compensation of its committee members estimated to be incurred over the performance period. The Company expects to recognize collaboration revenue from the committee participation ratably over the performance period of approximately seventeen years.

The future potential milestone amounts for the Mylan Agreement were not included in the transaction price, as they were all determined to be fully constrained following the concepts of ASC 606. As part of the Company’s evaluation of the development and regulatory milestones constraint, the Company determined that the achievement of such milestones are contingent upon success in future clinical trials and regulatory approvals which are not within its control and uncertain at this stage. The Company expects that the sales-based milestone payments and royalty arrangements will be recognized when the

sales occur or the milestone is achieved. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price each quarter and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.

As of June 30, 2019, $0.3 million was recorded in deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets under the Mylan Agreement. This amount reflects revenue allocated to joint steering committee participation which will be recognized as collaboration revenue over the course of the remaining performance period of approximately thirteen years.

The Company is also entitled to a share of US profits and losses (65% to Mylan; 35% to Theravance Biopharma) received in connection with commercialization of YUPELRI, and the Company is entitled to low double-digit tiered royalties on ex-US net sales. Mylan is the principal in the sales transactions, and as a result, the Company does not reflect the product sales in its financial statements.

Following the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of YUPELRI in November 2018, net amounts payable to or receivable from Mylan each quarter under the profit sharing structure are disaggregated according to their individual components. Any reimbursement received from Mylan for the Company’s R&D expense is characterized as a reduction of R&D expense, as the Company does not consider performing research and development services for reimbursement to be a part of its ongoing major or central operations. If in any reporting period, the arrangement results in a receivable from Mylan after the Company’s R&D expenses have been reimbursed, then such a receivable is recognized as profit sharing revenue. If in any reporting period, the arrangement results in a payable to Mylan after the Company’s R&D expenses have been reimbursed, then such payments are recognized as collaboration expenses within operating expenses. The following amounts were recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Prior to the FDA approval of YUPELRI, the Company recorded its 35% share of expenses within R&D expense and selling, general and administrative expense on its condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the arrangement resulted in total collaboration expense of $1.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Reimbursement of R&D Expense

Under certain collaborative arrangements, the Company is entitled to reimbursement of certain R&D expenses. Activities under collaborative arrangements for which the Company is entitled to reimbursement are considered to be collaborative activities under the scope of ASC 808. For these units of account, the Company does not analogize to ASC 606 or recognize revenue. The Company records reimbursement payments received from its collaboration partners as reductions to R&D expense.

The following table summarizes the reductions to R&D expense related to the reimbursement payments:

Revenue from Licensing Arrangements

In June 2019, the Company announced the expansion of the Mylan Agreement (the “Mylan Amendment”) to grant Mylan exclusive development and commercialization rights to nebulized revefenacin in China and adjacent territories. In exchange, the Company received an upfront payment of $18.5 million (before a required tax withholding) and will be eligible to receive potential development and sales milestones totaling $54.0 million together with low double-digit tiered royalties on net sales of nebulized revefenacin, if approved. Of the $54.0 million in potential milestones, $9.0 million is associated with the development of YUPELRI monotherapy, $7.5 million associated with the development of future potential combination products, and $37.5 million is associated with sales milestones. Mylan will be responsible for all aspects of development and commercialization in the partnered regions, including pre- and post-launch activities and product registration and all associated costs.

The Mylan Amendment is accounted for under ASC 606 as a separate contract from the original Mylan Agreement. The Company identified a single performance obligation comprising of the delivery of the license to develop and commercialize revefenacin in China and adjacent territories. The transaction price was determined to be the upfront payable of $18.5 million which the Company recognized as licensing revenue following the completion of the performance obligation in June 2019.

The future potential milestone amounts for the Mylan Amendment were not included in the transaction price, as they were all determined to be fully constrained following the concepts of ASC 606. As part of the Company’s evaluation of the development milestones constraint, the Company determined that the achievement of such milestones is contingent upon success in future clinical trials and regulatory approvals which are not within its control and uncertain at this stage. The Company expects that the sales-based milestone payments and royalty arrangements will be recognized when the sales occur, or the milestone is achieved. The Company will re-evaluate the transaction price each quarter and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
