P.COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS

 

Our commercial strategy includes the formation of collaborations with other pharmaceutical companies to expand our portfolio through the in-license or acquisition of additional pharmaceutical products, services or companies, including revenue-generating commercial products, services and late-stage development assets.

 

In December 2014, we entered into an agreement (the “Takeda Termination Agreement”), which terminated our License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Takeda (as amended, the “Takeda Agreement”). Under the terms of the Takeda Agreement, Takeda had exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Feraheme as a therapeutic agent in certain agreed-upon territories outside of the U.S. Pursuant to the Takeda Termination Agreement, the termination of the Takeda Agreement was effective on a rolling basis, whereby the termination was effective for a particular geographic territory (i.e., countries under the regulatory jurisdictions of Health Canada, the European Medicines Agency and SwissMedic) upon the earlier of effectiveness of the transfer to us or a withdrawal of the marketing authorization for such territory, with the final effective termination date to be on the third such effective date. On April 13, 2015, the marketing authorization for ferumoxytol was withdrawn in the EU and Switzerland. On June 25, 2015, the transfer from Takeda to us of the Feraheme marketing authorization in Canada became effective and marked the final termination date of the Takeda Agreement.

 

In connection with the final termination of the Takeda Agreement, we recognized into revenues the remaining balances of deferred revenue related to the upfront and milestone payments we received from Takeda during the life of the agreement as well as amounts associated with the terms of the Takeda Termination Agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized $44.4 million in revenues associated with the amortization of the remaining deferred revenue balance and have recorded it in license fee, collaboration and other revenues in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. In addition, we recognized $5.2 million of additional revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to payments made by Takeda upon the final termination date as required under the terms of the Takeda Termination Agreement.
