Collaborative Arrangement	3. Collaborative Arrangement On February 26, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Abbott Vascular, Inc. (“Abbott”) with respect to one of the device products in our Medical Device reportable segment, the SurVeil™ drug-coated balloon (“DCB”) for treatment of the superficial femoral artery (the “Abbott Agreement”). In June 2023, the SurVeil DCB received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) premarket approval (“PMA”) and may now be marketed and sold in the U.S. by Abbott. SurVeil DCB License Fees Under the Abbott Agreement, Surmodics is responsible for conducting all necessary clinical trials, including completion of the ongoing, five-year TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial of the SurVeil DCB. The Company has received payments totaling $87.8 million for achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones under the Abbott Agreement, which consisted of the following: (i) $25 million upfront fee in fiscal 2018, (ii) $10 million milestone payment in fiscal 2019, (iii) $10.8 million milestone payment in fiscal 2020, (iv) $15 million milestone payment in fiscal 2021, and (v) $27 million milestone payment in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 upon receipt of PMA for the SurVeil DCB from the FDA. There are no remaining contingent or other milestone payments under the Abbott Agreement. License fee revenue on milestone payments received under the Abbott Agreement is recognized using the cost-to-cost method based on total costs incurred to date relative to total expected costs for the TRANSCEND pivotal clinical trial, which is expected to be competed in fiscal 2025. See Note 2 Revenue for SurVeil DCB license fee revenue recognized in our Medical Device reportable segment. As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $5.7 million and $6.8 million, respectively, which was primarily related to milestone payments received under the Abbott Agreement. The $5.7 million in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2023, which represents the Company’s performance obligations that are unsatisfied for executed contracts with an original duration of one year or more, is expected to be recognized as revenue over the next two years through fiscal 2025 as services, principally TRANSCEND clinical trial, are completed. The amount of revenue recognized that was included in the respective beginning of fiscal year balances of deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets totaled $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. SurVeil DCB Product Sales Under the Abbott Agreement, we supply commercial units of the SurVeil DCB to Abbott, and Abbott has exclusive worldwide distribution rights. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we commenced shipment of commercial units of the SurVeil DCB to Abbott. We recognize revenue from the sale of commercial units of the SurVeil DCB to Abbott at the time of shipment in product sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The amount of SurVeil DCB product sales revenue recognized includes (i) the contractual transfer price per unit and (ii) an estimate of Surmodics’ share of net profits resulting from product sales by Abbott to third parties pursuant to the Abbott Agreement (“estimated SurVeil DCB profit-sharing”). On a quarterly basis, Abbott (i) reports to us its third-party sales of the SurVeil DCB the quarter after those sales occur, which may occur within two years following shipment based on the product’s current shelf life; and (ii) reports to us and pays the actual amount of profit-sharing. Estimated SurVeil DCB profit-sharing represents variable consideration and is recorded in contract assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We estimate variable consideration as the most-likely amount to which we expect to be entitled, and we include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Significant judgment is required in estimating the amount of variable consideration to recognize when assessing factors outside of Surmodics’ influence, such as limited availability of third-party information, expected duration of time until resolution, and limited relevant past experience.
