Intangible Assets, Net

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets was $27.2 million and $30.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) related to the development of the anti-KIT program (including CDX-0159).CDX-0159 is in Phase 1 development. As of December 31, 2021, the IPR&D asset related to the anti-KIT program had not reached technological feasibility nor did the asset have alternative future uses.

The Company performs an impairment test on IPR&D assets at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that IPR&D assets may be impaired. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company decided that although it had developed promising data for the AxL target within the TAM program, it would focus its efforts on out-licensing opportunities for its TAM program, a broad antibody discovery effort to generate antibodies that modulate the TAM family of RTKs, comprised of Tyro3, AxL and MerTK. As a result, the Company evaluated the TAM program IPR&D asset for potential impairment due to the change in projected development and regulatory timelines related to the program. The Company used a discounted cash flow fair value model and recorded a non-cash partial impairment charge of $14.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company evaluated its out-licensing progress since December 31, 2020 and the status and expectation for the TAM program. Despite the Company’s efforts to out-license, there was a lack of interest in the program from third parties. Therefore, the Company evaluated the TAM program IPR&D asset for potential impairment using a discounted cash flow fair value model and concluded that the TAM IPR&D asset was fully impaired. A non-cash impairment charge of $3.5 million was recorded for the third quarter of 2021. The Company evaluated the CDX-3379 IPR&D asset for potential impairment as a result of the discontinuation of the CDX-3379 program in the second quarter of 2020. The Company concluded that the CDX-3379 IPR&D asset was fully impaired, and a non-cash impairment charge of $3.5 million was recorded during the second quarter of 2020. The Company performed its annual impairment test of the remaining IPR&D asset during the fourth quarter of 2021 and concluded that the IPR&D asset related to the development of the anti-KIT program (including CDX-0159) was not impaired. Due to the nature of IPR&D projects, the Company may experience future delays or failures to obtain regulatory approvals to conduct clinical trials, failures of such clinical trials or other failures to achieve a commercially viable product, and as a result, may recognize further impairment losses in the future.
