10. Collaboration and Other Agreements

Rigel

On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Rigel”) for Rigel to purchase certain assets from the Company comprising the U.S. rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize GAVRETO (pralsetinib). Such assets include, among other things, applicable intellectual property related to pralsetinib in the U.S, including patents, copyrights and trademarks, as well as clinical regulatory and commercial data and records. Simultaneously and in connection with entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the parties also entered into certain supporting agreements, including a customary transition agreement, (such agreements collectively, the Rigel Agreement), pursuant to which, the Company transitioned certain inventory and regulatory and distribution responsibilities for pralsetinib to Rigel.

Under the terms of the Rigel Agreement, the Company has the right to receive a purchase price of $15.0 million, with $10.0 million paid upon first commercial sale of GAVRETO by Rigel and an additional $5.0 million as a delayed purchase price payable on the later of (i) the first anniversary of the closing date of the transaction, or (ii) the completion of certain transition activities. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $102.5 million in contingent specified regulatory and commercial milestone payments, in addition to tiered percentage royalties ranging from 10 percent to 30 percent on annual net sales of GAVRETO in the U.S. The royalties will be payable until the later of (i) the expiration of the royalty term, as defined in the agreement, which begins on the date of the first commercial sale of GAVRETO in the U.S., (ii) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim within the Company’s IP that covers GAVRETO in the U.S., and (iii) the expiration of the last regulatory exclusivity for GAVRETO in the U.S.

The Company determined that the Rigel Agreement is a transaction with a customer and therefore accounted for the transaction in accordance with ASC 606. As of the effective date, the Company determined that the agreement includes three performance obligations: the delivery of (1) the U.S. rights to GAVRETO; (2) additional pralsetinib clinical data; and (3) GAVRETO product to be purchased from Genentech.

The transaction price under ASC 606 was fully constrained at the inception of the Rigel Agreement due to the pending completion of key transition activities stipulated in the agreement, including the transfer of the new drug application (NDA). These key transition activities, including the transfer of the NDA, related patents, and GAVRETO product, were completed in the second quarter of 2024. The performance obligations related to the U.S. rights to GAVRETO and the delivery of GAVRETO product were satisfied at a point in time upon the completion of these key transition activities. The transaction price was determined to be $27.7 million, which consisted of $6.5 million consideration for the GAVRETO product, $10.0 million upfront purchase price payment, and $11.2 million in the

milestone and royalty payments that were considered probable of achievement and not subject to significant subsequent reversal of revenue. The transaction price was allocated to the three performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized total revenue of $24.3 million which is primarily comprised of GAVRETO product consideration of $6.5 million and the transaction price allocated to the U.S. rights to GAVRETO performance obligation of $17.6 million. The additional clinical data performance obligation will be satisfied at a point in time once the transfer of such data to Rigel is completed, and the allocated transaction price of $3.6 million was recorded as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, insignificant revenue was recognized under the Rigel agreements.

The Company reevaluates the transaction price at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and if necessary, the Company adjusts its estimate of the transaction price, and any addition to the transaction price would be recognized as revenue when it becomes probable that inclusion would not lead to a significant revenue reversal.

IDRx

In August 2022, the Company entered into a license agreement with IDRx, Inc. (IDRx), pursuant to which the Company granted IDRx an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to exploit the Company’s internally discovered KIT exon 13 inhibitor IDRX-73 (IDRx License Agreement). IDRx is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company and among IDRx’s founders are Alexis Borisy, George Demetri, M.D., and Nicholas Lydon, Ph.D., who were each a member of the Company’s board of directors at the time. Due to these relationships, the transaction with IDRx is a related party transaction.

In connection with the IDRx License Agreement, the Company also entered into a stock purchase agreement with IDRx (IDRx Stock Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Company received 4,509,105 shares of IDRx’s Series A preferred stock with the right to receive additional shares of IDRx’s Series A preferred stock through an anti-dilution provision subject to a defined financing cap. In July 2023, the Company received 192,282 additional shares under the anti-dilution provision. The shares are restricted from reselling unless IDRx subsequently proposes a resale registered under the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is otherwise available.

The Company is also eligible to receive up to $217.5 million in contingent cash payments, including specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestone payments. In addition, IDRx is obligated to pay to the Company royalties on aggregate annual worldwide net sales of licensed products at tiered percentage rates up to low-teens, subject to adjustments in specified circumstances under the IDRx License Agreement.

Unless earlier terminated, the IDRx License Agreement will expire on a country-by-country, licensed product-by-licensed product basis upon the latest of: (a) the expiration of the last valid claim within the licensed patents covering such licensed product in a such country, (b) the expiration of the regulatory exclusivity period for such licensed product in such country, or (c) the 10th anniversary of the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such country. Following the end of the term for any such licensed product and in such region by expiration, the license granted to IDRx will become exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up and royalty-free. IDRx may terminate the IDRx License Agreement for convenience at any time upon at least twelve months’ prior written notice to the Company. Either party may also terminate the IDRx License Agreement for material breach of the other party or for insolvency, and the

Company may terminate the IDRx License Agreement for IDRx’s breach of the anti-dilution provision in the IDRx Stock Purchase Agreement. Upon termination of the license agreement in its entirety, all rights and obligations under the license agreement will terminate and revert back to the Company, and the Company has a license under certain intellectual property of IDRx to continue to exploit the compound and terminated product, subject to a royalty that will be negotiated at the time of termination.

The Company considered the ASC 606 criteria for combining contracts and determined the IDRx License Agreement and the IDRx Stock Purchase Agreement should be combined into a single contract because they were negotiated and entered into in contemplation of one another. Therefore, the Company determined that the 4,509,105 shares of IDRx’s Series A preferred stock and the anti-dilution right to receive additional shares should be attributed to the transaction price of the IDRx License Agreement.

The Company evaluated the IDRx License Agreement under ASC 606. The Company identified the following material promises under the agreement: (1) the exclusive license and (2) the initial know-how transfer. The Company determined that the exclusive license and the initial know-how transfer were not distinct from each other, as the exclusive license has limited value without the corresponding know-how transfer. As such, for the purposes of ASC 606, the Company determined that these two material promises, the exclusive license and the initial know-how transfer, should be combined into one distinct performance obligation. The Company concluded that the license is a functional intellectual property license. The Company determined that IDRx benefited from the license along with the initial know-how transfer at the time of grant, and therefore the related performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.

For the purposes of ASC 606, the transaction price of the IDRx License Agreement at the contract inception was determined to be $27.5 million and recorded as license revenue-related party on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during 2022. The fair value was derived from IDRx’s most recent financing transaction with unrelated investors. All potential milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive under the IDRx License Agreement have been excluded from the transaction price. The Company reevaluates the transaction price for inclusion of milestone payments and royalties at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and if necessary, the Company adjusts its estimate of the transaction price, and any addition to the transaction price would be recognized as revenue when it becomes probable that inclusion would not lead to a significant revenue reversal. Additionally, the Company is entitled to sales milestones and royalties from the sales of the licensed products, and revenue are recognized when the related sales occur.

The Company concluded the preferred stock investment should be accounted for as an equity investment as it is not mandatorily redeemable nor does the Company have the unilateral right to redeem the preferred stock, and the Company, along with its related parties, do not have a controlling financial interest in IDRx nor have the ability to influence the financial and operating policies through the ownership of preferred stock. IDRx’s preferred stock is not exchange-traded and does not have a readily determinable fair value. Therefore, the preferred stock investment was accounted for under the measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, at cost of $27.8 million including transaction costs of $0.3 million. If observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment are identified, the Company will adjust the carrying value of the investment to its fair value as of the transaction date. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, IDRx completed a Series B preferred stock financing and accordingly, the Company adjusted the carrying value of its investment in IDRx to $28.7 million. The $0.9 million investment gain was recorded as other income on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. No revenue was recorded under the IDRx License Agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

VantAI

In February 2022, the Company entered into an exclusive collaboration agreement with Oncopia Therapeutics, Inc. d/b/a Proteovant Therapeutics, Inc. (Proteovant) (the 2022 Agreement) to jointly research and advance certain protein degrader therapies into development candidates, with VantAI, Inc. (VantAI) performing computational chemistry services on behalf of Proteovant under the agreement. In December 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Collaboration and License Agreement (the A&R Agreement) with VantAI and Proteovant, which amended and restated and replaced in its entirety the 2022 Agreement. Under the A&R Agreement, Proteovant ceased its role under the 2022 Agreement and VantAI provides expanded computational support directly to the Company, including

computational biology and expanded computational chemistry to advance three novel protein degrader programs, and the Company has the option, at its sole discretion, to expand the collaboration to include a fourth target program.

Under the A&R Agreement, VantAI is eligible to receive up to $1.67 billion in contingent payments including specified research, development, regulatory and commercialization milestones for all the target programs. The Company will be obligated to pay VantAI tiered percentage royalties on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis ranging from the mid-single digits on annual net sales of each licensed product in the applicable territory, subject to adjustment in specified circumstances.

Under the 2022 Agreement, the Company paid Proteovant an upfront payment of $20.0 million in connection with the execution of the 2022 Agreement. This upfront payment was recorded as a prepaid asset on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and was amortized as research and development expense over the expected research period because the Company concluded that Proteovant was providing the Company with research services throughout such period. The Company determined to continue to amortize the remaining prepaid asset balance as research and development expense over the expected research period of the A&R Agreement as VantAI continued to provide such research and development services. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded research and development expense of $1.6 million and $5.5 million, respectively, under the A&R Agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expense recorded under the 2022 Agreement was $0.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The following table summarizes the prepaid assets associated with the A&R Agreement as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

The Company reevaluates the expected research period at the end of each reporting period and prospectively adjusts the amortization of the asset for changes in the expected research period. Each research and development milestone payment is accrued and expensed when probable.

Zai Lab

In November 2021, the Company entered into a collaboration (the Zai Lab agreement) with Zai Lab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., (Zai Lab) to develop and commercialize certain licensed products for the treatment of EGFR-driven non-small cell lung cancer in Greater China, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (collectively, the Zai Lab Territory), which currently include BLU-945 and BLU-525. In January 2024, the Company decided to discontinue further investment in the early clinical-stage therapies for EGFR-mutant NSCLC globally. Zai Lab retains its rights to BLU-945 and BLU-525 under the agreement. The Company retains exclusive rights to the licensed products outside the Zai Lab Territory. The decision to deprioritize the licensed products does not have an impact on the Company’s accounting treatment related to the Zai Lab agreement.

Under the Zai Lab agreement, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $25.0 million and, in addition to the upfront payment received, the Company is eligible to receive up to $590.0 million in contingent payments, including specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones and tiered percentage royalties on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis ranging from the low-teens to mid-teens on annual net sales of each licensed product in the Zai Lab Territory, subject to adjustment in specified circumstances. Zai Lab is responsible for costs related to clinical trials in the Zai Lab Territory, other than the specified shared services costs as defined in the Zai Lab agreement which are shared by the Company and Zai Lab.

Pursuant to the terms of the Zai Lab agreement, Zai Lab is responsible for conducting all development and commercialization activities in the Zai Lab Territory related to the licensed drug candidates. In addition, under the Zai Lab agreement, each party has granted the other party specified intellectual property licenses to enable the other party to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the Zai Lab agreement, including license grants to enable each party to conduct research, development and commercialization activities pursuant to the terms of the Zai Lab agreement.

The Zai Lab agreement will continue on a licensed product-by-product and region-by-region basis until the later of (i) the 12th anniversary of the date of the first commercial sale of a licensed product in the Zai Lab Territory, (ii) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim related to the Company’s patent rights of the product in the Zai Lab Territory, and (iii) the expiration of the last regulatory exclusivity for that product in a region in the Zai Lab Territory. Zai Lab may terminate the agreement for convenience by giving a written notice after the second anniversary of the effective date (a) at least 12 months after the date of notice, in the event such notice is given after the first commercial sale of a licensed product in the Zai Lab Territory or (b) at least nine months after the date of such notice, in the event such notice is given prior to the first commercial sale of the first licensed product in the Zai Lab Territory. Either party may terminate the Zai Lab agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency. Upon termination, all licenses and all other rights granted by the Company to Zai Lab will terminate. Each party will retain its joint ownership interests in any joint collaboration technology.

The Company concluded that the Zai Lab agreement is a collaborative agreement under ASC 808 as both parties are active participants in the clinical trials and are exposed to significant risks and rewards of those activities under the Zai Lab agreement. The Company determined that the Zai Lab agreement contained two material components: (i) licenses granted to Zai Lab to exploit and develop each licensed product in the Zai Lab Territory and related activities in the Zai Lab Territory, including manufacturing, and (ii) global development of the licensed products. The Company concluded that Zai Lab is the Company’s customer for the licenses and related activities in the Zai Lab Territory under ASC 606, whereas payments received by the Company for global development activities, including manufacturing, are accounted for as a reduction of related expenses. The Company did not record any reductions of expenses under the Zai Lab agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company evaluated the Zai Lab Territory specific licenses and related activities under ASC 606 and identified three material promises at the outset of the Zai Lab agreement, which consists of the following for each licensed product: (1) the exclusive license, (2) the initial know-how transfer and (3) manufacturing activities related to development and commercial supply of the licensed product in the Zai Lab Territory. The Company determined that the exclusive license and the initial know-how transfer were not distinct from each other, as the exclusive license has limited value without the corresponding know-how transfer. As such, for the purposes of ASC 606, the Company determined that these two material promises, the exclusive license and the initial know-how, should be combined into one distinct performance obligation. The manufacturing activities were excluded as performance obligation at the outset of the arrangement because it represented a customer option that was not a material right.

The Company determined that the license is a functional intellectual property license as Zai Lab benefited from the license along with the initial know-how transfer at the time of grant, and therefore the related performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time. The transaction price of the Zai Lab agreement at the outset of the arrangement was determined to be $25.0 million and the Company satisfied the performance obligation upon delivery of the licenses and initial know-how transfer and accordingly, the upfront payment of $25.0 million was recognized as revenue in 2021. Revenue from sales-based milestones and royalties will be recognized when the related sales occur. The other potential milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive were excluded from the transaction price, as all milestone amounts were fully constrained based on the probability of achievement. Costs that are incurred associated with Zai Lab Territory specific activities are reimbursable from Zai Lab and are recognized as revenue. The Company did not record any revenue under the Zai Lab agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Revenue recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was negligible.

The Company reevaluates the transaction price at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and if necessary, the Company adjusts its estimate of the transaction price, and any addition to the transaction price would be recognized as revenue when it becomes probable that inclusion would not lead to a significant revenue reversal.

Roche – Pralsetinib Collaboration

In July 2020, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement (the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement) with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Genentech, Inc., a member of the Roche Group (collectively, Roche), pursuant to which the Company granted Roche exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the Company’s drug candidate pralsetinib worldwide, excluding the CStone Territory (as defined below), and a co-exclusive license in the U.S. to develop and commercialize pralsetinib. In February 2023, the Company received written notice from Roche of their election to terminate for convenience the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement. The termination became effective on February 22, 2024 (the collaboration termination effective date), at which time the Company regained commercialization and development rights to GAVRETO from Roche worldwide excluding the CStone Territory. In January 2024, the Company decided to discontinue global development and marketing of GAVRETO in territories excluding the U.S. and the CStone Territory, due to a lack of an alternate partner in these regions. The Company and Roche continued to perform their respective obligations under the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement through the collaboration termination effective date. On February 22, 2024, the Company and Roche entered into a transition agreement (the Roche transition agreement) in connection with the termination of the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement.

Under the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $675.0 million. Through the collaboration termination effective date, the Company received an aggregate of $105.0 million in specified regulatory and commercialization milestones under the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement. In connection with the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement, in July 2020, the Company also entered into a stock purchase agreement with Roche Holdings, Inc. (Roche Holdings) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 1,035,519 shares of common stock to Roche Holdings at a purchase price of $96.57 per share for a consideration of $100.0 million. The fair market value of the common stock issued to Roche Holdings was $79.3 million on the date of issuance. The Company determined that the premium of $20.7 million paid by Roche Holdings for the common stock should be attributed to the transaction price of the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement.

In the U.S., the Company and Roche co-commercialized pralsetinib and shared responsibilities, profits and losses equally. In addition, the Company received tiered royalties on annual net sales of pralsetinib outside the U.S., excluding the CStone Territory (the Roche Territory). The Company and Roche shared global development costs for pralsetinib at a rate of 45 percent for the Company and 55 percent for Roche.

The Company determined that the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement contained four material components: (i) licenses granted to Roche to develop and commercialize pralsetinib worldwide, excluding the CStone Territory (pralsetinib license); (ii) the Roche Territory-specific commercialization activities for pralsetinib, including manufacturing (Roche Territory activities); (iii) the parties’ joint development activities for pralsetinib worldwide, excluding the CStone Territory; and (iv) the parties’ joint commercialization activities for pralsetinib in the U.S.

The Company evaluated the Roche pralsetinib license under ASC 606 and concluded that the pralsetinib license was a functional intellectual property license and a distinct performance obligation. The Company determined that Roche benefited from the pralsetinib license at the time of grant, and therefore the related performance obligation was satisfied at a point in time. Costs incurred associated with the Roche Territory activities were reimbursable from Roche and were recognized as revenue.

The transaction price of the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement at the outset of the arrangement was determined to be $695.7 million, which consisted of the upfront cash payment of $675.0 million and the $20.7 million premium on the sale of common stock to Roche Holdings, which was allocated to the performance obligation related to the pralsetinib licenses. Through the collaboration termination effective date, the Company achieved an aggregate of $105.0 million in specified regulatory and commercialization milestones which were added to the estimated transaction price of the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement.

Roche was the principal for recording product sales to customers in the U.S., and the Company recognized a portion of the profit as revenue and losses as collaboration loss sharing in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded revenue of $1.4 million derived from profit sharing on Roche sales of GAVRETO in the U.S. and no collaboration profit or loss sharing was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the termination of the Roche pralsetinib

collaboration agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a collaboration loss sharing expense of $1.8 million and $4.3 million on Roche’s sales of GAVRETO in the U.S., respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, no revenue was recognized related to the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue of $0.5 million was recognized related to Roche Territory specific activities and royalty revenue through the collaboration termination effective date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded revenue of $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, related to the Roche Territory specific activities and royalty revenue.

For the parties’ participation in global development for pralsetinib and the U.S. commercialization activities for GAVRETO, the Company concluded that those activities and cost-sharing payments related to such activities were within the scope of ASC 808, as both parties were active participants in the development, manufacturing and commercialization activities and are exposed to significant risks and rewards of those activities under the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement. Payments to or reimbursements from Roche related to the global development activities were accounted for either as an increase or reduction of research and development expenses.

No operating expenses were recorded under the Roche pralsetinib collaboration since June 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $1.0 million reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in connection with the commercialization of GAVRETO in the U.S and $1.1 million increase in research and development expenses related to global development activities for pralsetinib under the Roche pralsetinib collaboration. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $3.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively, as reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses in connection with the commercialization of GAVRETO in the U.S. and $7.6 million and $21.2 million, respectively, as increases in research and development expenses in connection with global development activities for pralsetinib.

Upon termination of the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement, the Company chose not to assume responsibility for any ongoing pralsetinib clinical trials, and under the terms of the Roche pralsetinib collaboration agreement, Roche bears sole responsibility for all costs associated with the wind-down of these trials.

Pursuant to the Roche transition agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse Roche for wind-down costs associated with the marketing and commercialization activities occurred for Roche Territory until December 31, 2026. Additionally, the Company is obligated to reimburse Roche for any U.S. transition related costs that exceeds GAVRETO’s net sales in the U.S., and any remaining net profit are shared equally between the Company and Roche until December 31, 2025. The Company has concluded that such activities and associated payments to Roche are not within the scope of ASC 808 as only the Company is exposed to significant risks and awards associated with those activities. The Company records those wind-down costs and the net amount of U.S. transition costs reimbursable to Roche as selling, general, and administrative expenses when they are incurred. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, in such costs.

Clementia

In October 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement (the Clementia agreement) with Clementia Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Clementia), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ipsen S.A. Under the Clementia agreement, the Company granted an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license to Clementia to develop and commercialize BLU-782, the Company’s oral, highly selective investigational ALK2 inhibitor in Phase 1 clinical development for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), as well as specified other compounds related to the BLU-782 program.

Under the Clementia agreement, the Company received an upfront cash payment of $25.0 million and through September 30, 2024, the Company has received an aggregate of $50.0 million in cash milestone payments. Subject to the terms of the Clementia agreement, in addition to the upfront and milestone payments received through September 30, 2024, the Company is eligible to receive up to $460.0 million in contingent payments, including specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones for licensed products. In addition, Clementia is obligated to pay to the Company royalties on aggregate annual worldwide net sales of licensed products at tiered percentage rates ranging from the low- to mid-teens, subject to adjustment in specified circumstances under the Clementia agreement, and Clementia purchased specified manufacturing inventory from the Company for a total of $1.5 million.

Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Clementia agreement, the agreement will expire on a country-by-country, licensed product-by-licensed product basis on the date when no royalty payments are or will become due. Clementia may terminate the agreement at any time upon at least 12 months’ prior written notice to the Company. Either party may terminate the agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency and in certain other circumstances agreed to by the parties. In certain termination circumstances, the Company is entitled to retain specified licenses to be able to continue to exploit the Clementia licensed products.

The Company evaluated the Clementia agreement under ASC 606, as the agreement represented a transaction with a customer. The Company identified the following material promises under the agreement: (1) the exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize BLU-782; (2) the technology transfer of BLU-782 program; (3) the transfer of existing manufacturing inventory; and (4) the transfer of in-process manufacturing inventory. In addition, the Company determined that the exclusive license and technology transfer were not distinct from each other, as the exclusive license has limited value without the corresponding technology transfer. As such, for the purposes of ASC 606, the Company determined that these four material promises, described above, should be combined into three performance obligations: (1) the exclusive license and the technology transfer; (2) the transfer of existing manufacturing inventory; and (3) the transfer of in-process manufacturing inventory.

The Company determined that the transaction price at the outset of the arrangement was $46.5 million, which was allocated to the three performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, and was recognized as revenue during 2019 and 2020.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, no revenue was recognized from the Clementia agreement. All potential milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive were excluded from the transaction price, as the amounts were fully constrained based on the probability of achievement. The Company reevaluates the transaction price at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and if necessary, the Company adjusts its estimate of the transaction price, and any addition to the transaction price would be recognized as revenue when it becomes probable that inclusion would not lead to a significant revenue reversal.

There was no revenue deferred as a contract liability associated with the Clementia agreement as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

CStone Pharmaceuticals

In June 2018, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (the CStone agreement) with CStone Pharmaceuticals (CStone) pursuant to which the Company granted CStone exclusive rights to develop and commercialize the Company’s drug candidates avapritinib, pralsetinib and fisogatinib, including back-up and other forms thereof, in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (each, a CStone region and collectively, the CStone Territory), either as a monotherapy or as part of a combination therapy.

The Company received an upfront cash payment of $40.0 million, and through September 30, 2024, the Company has achieved an aggregate of $38.5 million in milestones under this collaboration. Subject to the terms of the CStone agreement, in addition to the upfront payments received and milestones achieved through September 30, 2024, the Company will be eligible to receive up to $307.5 million in contingent payments, including specified development, regulatory and sales-based milestones for licensed products. In addition, CStone is obligated to pay the Company tiered percentage royalties on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis ranging from the mid-teens to low twenties on annual net sales of each licensed product in the CStone Territory, subject to adjustment in specified circumstances.

CStone is responsible for costs related to the development of the licensed products in the CStone Territory, other than specified costs related to the development of fisogatinib as a combination therapy in the CStone Territory that are shared by the Company and CStone.

Pursuant to the terms of the CStone agreement, CStone is responsible for conducting all development and commercialization activities in the CStone Territory related to the licensed products. Subject to specified exceptions, during the term of the CStone agreement, each party has agreed that neither it nor its affiliates will conduct specified development and commercialization activities in the CStone Territory related to selective inhibitors of FGFR4, KIT, PDGFRA and RET. In addition, under the CStone agreement, each party has granted the other party specified intellectual property licenses to enable the other party to perform its obligations and exercise its rights under the CStone agreement, including license grants to enable each party to conduct research, development and commercialization activities pursuant to the terms of the CStone agreement.

The CStone agreement will continue on a licensed product-by-licensed product and CStone region-by-CStone region basis until the later of (i) 12 years after the first commercial sale of a licensed product in a CStone region in the CStone Territory and (ii) the date of expiration of the last valid patent claim related to the Company’s patent rights or any joint collaboration patent rights for the licensed product that covers the composition of matter, method of use or method of manufacturing such licensed product in such region. Subject to the terms of the CStone agreement, CStone may terminate the CStone agreement in its entirety or with respect to one or more licensed products for convenience by providing written notice to the Company, and CStone may terminate the CStone agreement with respect to a licensed product for convenience at any time by providing written notice to the Company following the occurrence of specified events. In addition, the Company may terminate the CStone agreement under specified circumstances if CStone or certain other parties challenges the Company’s patent rights or any joint collaboration patent rights or if CStone or its affiliates do not conduct any material development or commercialization activities with respect to one or more licensed products for a specified period of time, subject to specified exceptions. Either party may terminate the CStone agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency. In certain termination circumstances, the parties are entitled to retain specified licenses to be able to continue to exploit the licensed products, and in the event of termination by CStone for the Company’s uncured material breach, the Company will be obligated to pay CStone a low single digit percentage royalty on a licensed product-by-licensed product basis on annual net sales of such licensed product in the CStone Territory, subject to a cap and other specified exceptions.

The Company evaluated the CStone agreement to determine whether it is a collaborative arrangement for purposes of ASC 808. The Company determined that there were two material components of the CStone agreement: (i) the CStone Territory-specific license and related activities in the CStone Territory, and (ii) the parties’ participation in global development of the licensed products. The Company concluded that the CStone Territory-specific license and related activities in the CStone Territory are not within the scope of ASC 808 because the Company is not exposed to significant risks and rewards. The Company concluded that CStone is a customer with regard to the component that includes the CStone Territory-specific license and related activities in CStone Territory, which include manufacturing. For the parties’ participation in global development of the licensed products, the Company concluded that the research and development activities and cost-sharing payments related to such activities are within the scope of ASC 808 as both parties are active participants exposed to the risk of the activities under the CStone agreement. The Company concluded that CStone is not a customer with regard to the global development component in the context of the CStone agreement. Therefore, net payments received by the Company for global development activities under the CStone agreement, including manufacturing, are accounted for as a reduction of related expenses.

The Company did not have significant manufacturing and research and development services related to the global development activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The Company evaluated the CStone Territory-specific license and related activities in the CStone Territory under ASC 606, as these transactions are considered transactions with a customer. The Company identified the following material promises under the arrangement: (1) the three exclusive licenses granted in the CStone Territory to develop, manufacture and commercialize the three licensed products; (2) the initial know-how transfer for each licensed product; (3) manufacturing activities related to development and commercial supply of the licensed products; (4) participation in the joint steering committee (JSC) and joint project teams (JPT); (5) regulatory responsibilities; and (6) manufacturing technology and continuing know-how transfers. The Company determined that each licensed product is distinct from the other licensed products. In addition, the Company determined that the exclusive licenses and initial know-how transfers

for each licensed product were not distinct from each other, as each exclusive license has limited value without the corresponding initial know-how transfer. For purposes of ASC 606, the Company determined that participation on the JSC and JPTs, the regulatory responsibilities and the manufacturing technology and continuing know-how transfers are qualitatively and quantitatively immaterial in the context of the CStone agreement and therefore are excluded from performance obligations. As such, the Company determined that these six material promises, described above, should be combined into one performance obligation for each of the three candidates.

The Company evaluated the provision of manufacturing activities related to development and commercial supply of the licensed products as an option for purposes of ASC 606 to determine whether these manufacturing activities provide CStone with any material rights. The Company concluded that the manufacturing activities were not issued at a significant and incremental discount, and therefore do not provide CStone with any material rights. As such, the manufacturing activities are excluded as performance obligations at the outset of the arrangement.

Based on these assessments, the Company identified three distinct performance obligations at the outset of the CStone agreement, which consists of the following for each licensed product: (1) the exclusive license and (2) the initial know-how transfer.

Under the CStone agreement, in order to evaluate the transaction price for purposes of ASC 606, the Company determined that the upfront amount of $40.0 million constituted the entirety of the consideration to be included in the transaction price at the outset of the arrangement, which was allocated to the three performance obligations. The potential milestone payments that the Company is eligible to receive were excluded from the transaction price, as all milestone amounts were fully constrained based on the probability of achievement. The Company satisfied the performance obligations upon delivery of the licenses, initial know-how transfers and product trademark and recognized the upfront payment of $40.0 million as revenue in 2018.

The Company did not achieve any milestones under the CStone agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and during the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash consideration associated with the achieved regulatory milestone of $9.0 million was added to the estimated transaction price for the CStone agreement and recognized as revenue. The Company reevaluates the transaction price at the end of each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur, and if necessary, the Company adjusts its estimate of the transaction price, and any addition to the transaction price would be recognized as revenue when it becomes probable that inclusion would not lead to a significant revenue reversal.

Subsequent to the CStone agreement, the Company entered into various commercial supply and manufacturing technology transfer agreements for avapritinib and pralsetinib related to supply of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), drug substance and commercialization activities conducted specifically for the CStone Territory. The manufacturing activities in these agreements were considered as distinct performance obligations from the CStone collaboration agreement and collaboration revenue is recognized upon delivery of the supply to CStone. Considerations payable to CStone related to the Company’s obligations in connection with commercial supply of pralsetinib for the CStone Territory was recognized as a reduction of collaboration revenue.

A summary of revenue recognized under the CStone agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s liabilities associated with the CStone collaboration as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 resulted primarily from the Company’s obligations in connection with commercial supply of pralsetinib for the CStone Territory.

Roche – Immunotherapy Collaboration

In March 2016, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (as amended, the Roche immunotherapy agreement) with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd and Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (collectively, Roche) for the discovery, development and commercialization of small molecule therapeutics targeting kinases believed to be important in cancer immunotherapy, as single products or possibly in combination with other therapeutics. On April 30, 2023, the Company and Roche entered into a mutual termination agreement to terminate the Roche immunotherapy agreement. Certain licenses granted by Roche to the Company survived and became exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free and irrevocable and the Company retained ownership of all the targets developed under the collaboration.

The Roche immunotherapy agreement represented a vendor-customer relationship under ASC 606 as the Company performed its one performance obligation at the outset of the Roche immunotherapy agreement, which consisted of: (1) the non-exclusive license; (2) the research and development activities through Phase 1; and (3) regulatory responsibilities under Phase 1 clinical trials.

The aggregate net transaction price of the Roche immunotherapy agreement was $64.7 million. The Company recognized revenue associated with the performance obligation using an input method, based on the costs incurred for the research and development activities on each program and the costs expected to be incurred in the future to satisfy the performance obligation for each respective period. The amounts received that had not yet been recognized as revenue were deferred as a contract liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and recognized over the remaining research and development period until the performance obligation was satisfied. The performance obligation was completely satisfied as of June 30, 2023 and no revenue was recognized thereafter for this agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized research and development services revenue of $25.7 million under the Roche immunotherapy agreement, of which $16.0 million resulted from changes in contract liability balances at the beginning of the period. There was no revenue deferred as a contract liability associated with the Roche immunotherapy agreement as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
