ARIAD PHARMACEUTICALS (LUXEMBOURG) SARL AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

 

ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Luxembourg) Sarl (the “Company”) is the holding company consisting of  its European subsidiaries, ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Canada) ULC, A.P.I., ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Israel) Ltd. and ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Australia) Pty Ltd.  The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ARIAD or the “Parent Company”).

 

ARIAD is a global oncology company focused on transforming the lives of cancer patients with breakthrough medicines. The Company’s mission is to discover, develop and commercialize small-molecule drugs to treat cancer in patients with the greatest unmet medical need — aggressive cancers where current therapies are inadequate.

 

The Company is licensed by ARIAD to sell the cancer medicine, Iclusig® (ponatinib), for the treatment of adult patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (“CML”) and Philadelphia chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (“Ph+ ALL”) primarily within the European Union and Australia.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts and disclosure of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates included in the Company’s financial statements include estimates associated with revenue recognition and the related adjustments, accruals, inventory and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company operates as a subsidiary of ARIAD and as a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of the Company’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what its consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had the Company operated as an independent company during the periods presented.    Certain general corporate overhead and research and development expenses incurred by the Parent Company have been allocated to the Company.  Management believes that the basis for such allocations are reasonable; however, they may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company been operating as an independent company for the periods presented.  Note 6 provides further information regarding allocated expenses.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has generated insufficient revenue from the sale of products and has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, including a net loss of $79.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $52.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $283.1 million and $204.0 million, respectively. The Company expects to incur additional operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. These factors, along with the Company’s history and near term forecast of incurring significant net losses and negative operating cash flows, raise substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through financing from its Parent Company. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional funding sufficient to cover costs and meet its obligations on a timely basis and, ultimately, attain profitable operations. Management plans to obtain funding from its Parent Company and from the future acquirer of the Company, as disclosed in note 14, in order to continue to operate as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate revenue sufficient to cover its costs or obtain capital on acceptable terms, if at all. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Luxembourg) Sarl and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions within the group consisting of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Luxembourg) Sarl and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Unless otherwise stated, all numbers in the following notes are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. A subsidiary’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates; normally, that is the currency of the environment in which a subsidiary primarily generates and expends cash. In making the determination of the appropriate functional currency for a subsidiary, the Company considers cash flow indicators, local market indicators, financing indicators and the subsidiary’s relationship with both the parent company and other subsidiaries. For subsidiaries that are primarily a direct and integral component or extension of the parent entity’s operations, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency.

 

For foreign subsidiaries that transact in functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, assets and liabilities are translated at current rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at the average foreign exchange rate for the period. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars are excluded from the determination of net loss and are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of stockholders’ equity. For foreign subsidiaries where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar, monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are re-measured into U.S. dollars at historical exchange rates. Revenue and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during each period.

 

The net total of realized and unrealized transaction gains and losses was a gain of $0.8 million in 2015, and a gain of $35.9 million in 2014.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

Cash equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments, with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less, and money market accounts.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The restricted cash relates to a guarantee to secure rent commitments backed by bank deposits related to the lease of the Company’s office facilities in Lausanne, Switzerland.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to customers based on its evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. The Company records receivables for all billings when amounts are due under standard terms. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due net of applicable prompt pay discounts and other contractual adjustments as well as an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company assesses the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the customer’s ability to pay its obligation and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company will write off accounts receivable when the Company determines that they are uncollectible.

 

Inventory

 

The Company purchases finished products from the Parent Company. Limited manufacturing activities, consisting of packaging and labeling are also conducted by the Company.

 

Inventory is composed of finished goods, which are goods that are available for sale. The Company initially records inventory at cost and evaluates the recoverability of that asset periodically. The Company determines the cost of its inventory on a specific identification basis. The Company evaluates its inventory balances quarterly and if the Company identifies excess, obsolete or unsalable inventory, it writes down its inventory to its net realizable value in the period it is identified. These adjustments are recorded

 

6



 

based upon various factors, the level of product in the distribution channel, current and projected demand for the foreseeable future and the expected shelf-life of the inventory components. The Company recorded such adjustments of $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 which are recorded as a component of cost of product revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Inventory that is not expected to be used within one year is included in other assets, net, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Shipping and handling costs for product shipments are recorded as incurred in cost of product revenue along with costs associated with manufacturing the product sold and any inventory reserves or write-downs.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (3 to 10 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or lease term using the straight-line method.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist primarily of purchased technology and capitalized patent and license costs. The cost of purchased technology, patents and patent applications, costs incurred in filing patents and certain license fees are capitalized when recovery of the costs is probable. Capitalized costs related to purchased technology are amortized over the estimated useful life of the technology. Capitalized costs related to issued patents are amortized over a period not to exceed seventeen years or the remaining life of the patent, whichever is shorter, using the straight-line method. Capitalized license fees are amortized over the periods to which they relate. In addition, capitalized costs are expensed when it becomes determinable that the related patents, patent applications or technology will not be pursued. Intangible assets relate to the cost of the intellectual property rights of Iclusig for Europe licensed from the Parent Company and capitalized.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including the above-mentioned intangible assets, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

Accrued Rent

 

The Company recognizes rent expense for leases with increasing annual rents on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The amount of rent expense in excess of cash payments is classified as accrued rent. Any lease incentives received are deferred and amortized over the term of the lease. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the amount of accrued rent was $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $0.3 million was included in other long-term liabilities at both December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when the four basic criteria of revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. When the revenue recognition criteria are not met, we defer the recognition of revenue by recording deferred revenue until such time that all criteria are met.

 

Product Revenue, Net

 

The Company sells Iclusig to retail pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, and distributors. The retail pharmacies and hospital pharmacies dispense Iclusig directly to patients. These, retail pharmacies, hospital pharmacies and distributors are referred to as the Company’s customers. European customers are provided the right to return product only in limited circumstances, such as damaged product. Revenue is generally recognized when risk of loss and title passes to the customer, provided all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

 

The Company has standard terms of sale with each of its customers and delivery occurs when risk of loss and title passes to the customer. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of each of its customers to determine whether collection is reasonably assured.

 

7



 

In order to conclude that the price is fixed or determinable, the Company must be able to (i) calculate its gross product revenues from the sales to its customers and (ii) reasonably estimate its net product revenues.

 

The Company calculates gross product revenues based on the acquisition cost that the Company charges its customers for Iclusig. The Company estimates its net product revenues by deducting from its gross product revenues (i) trade allowances, such as invoice discounts for prompt payment and customer fees, (ii) estimated government rebates, chargebacks and discounts, and, (iii) estimated product returns. These deductions from gross revenue to determine net revenue are also referred to as gross to net deductions.

 

Trade Allowances: The Company provides invoice discounts on Iclusig sales to certain of its customers for prompt payment. The Company deducts the full amount of these discounts from its gross product revenues at the time such discounts are earned by such customers.

 

Rebates, Chargebacks and Discounts: The Company is subject to mandatory rebates and discounts in markets where government-sponsored healthcare systems are the primary payers for healthcare. Estimates relating to these rebates and discounts are deducted from gross product revenues at the time the revenues are recognized. These rebates and discounts are recorded in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

Other Adjustments: Other adjustments to gross revenue include product returns. European customers are provided the right to return product only in limited circumstances, such as damaged product. In addition, the Company is contractually obligated to ship product with specific remaining shelf-life prior to expiry per its distribution agreements.

In 2012, prior to the Company obtaining marketing authorization for Iclusig in Europe, the French regulatory authority granted an Autorisation Temporaire d’Utilisation (ATU), or Temporary Authorization for Use, for Iclusig for the treatment of patients with CML and Ph+ ALL under a nominative program on a patient-by-patient basis. Upon completion of this program, the Company became eligible to ship Iclusig directly to customers in France as of October 1, 2013. Shipments under these programs had not met the criteria for revenue recognition as of March 31, 2016 or any earlier date as the price for these shipments was not yet fixed or determinable. On May 17, 2016 pricing and reimbursement negotiations were completed, and additional information regarding these negotiations is given in the subsequent events note.

 

The Company has entered into distributor arrangements for Iclusig in a number of countries including, Israel, certain countries in central and Eastern Europe, and Turkey. The Company recognizes Iclusig net product revenue from these arrangements when all criteria for revenue recognition have been satisfied. The Company has received upfront payments from distributors for the exclusive

 

8



 

distribution rights in these territories. The upfront payments are amortized to other revenue over the terms of each applicable agreement.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash held at financial institutions. The Company believes that such financial institutions are of high credit quality. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, a portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalent accounts were concentrated mainly at a single financial institution, which potentially exposes the Company to credit risks. The Company does not believe that there is significant risk of non-performance by the financial institution and the Company’s cash on deposit at this financial institution is fully liquid.

 

The Company has no individual customer representing more than 10 percent of net product revenue and has no significant concentration of credit risk.

 

Advertising Costs

 

In connection with the commercial launch of Iclusig during 2013, the Company began incurring advertising costs. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were insignificant for both period 2015 and 2014.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement basis and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future and for loss and other tax carry forwards. Such deferred income tax computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the years in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established when it is necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is considered to be more-likely-than-not realizable.

 

The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit that is recorded for these positions is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Any interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions are included within the tax provision.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Parent Company awards stock options and other equity-based instruments to Company employees and provides employees the right to purchase common stock (collectively “share-based payments”), pursuant to Parent Company stockholder approved plans, or as inducement grants in connection with the employment of key employees. Compensation cost related to such awards is measured based on the fair value of the instrument on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which generally equals the vesting period. Because the awards settle in shares of the Parent Company, the offset to the charge was recorded with the amounts due to the Parent Company.

 

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

 

The Company organizes itself into one operating segment reporting to the General Manager, Europe.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 (and interim periods within those fiscal years) with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-17 may be either applied prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the options for adoption and the impact on its balance sheet presentation.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued amended accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance is based on the principle that revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the

 

9



 

transfer of goods or services to customers. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. This amendment will be effective for us in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is continuing to evaluate the options for adoption and the impact on its financial position and results of operations.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance on going concern. Under the new guidance, management will be required to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods therein. This guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements or disclosures.

 

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the accounting for leases. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018, and for interim periods therein. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of this new standard on its financial statements.

6. Related Party Transactions

 

Inventory and cost of product revenue

 

The Company purchases inventories from the Parent Company. The Company recognized cost of product revenue from these inventory purchases of $1.9 million and $0.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The inventory balance as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, also represents the inventory purchased from the Parent Company.

 

Allocated expenses

 

The Company was allocated corporate overhead expenses from the Parent Company for corporate-related shared service functions from which the Company benefited.  General corporate expense allocations represent costs related to centralized corporate functions such as executive oversight, business development, information technology, accounting, legal, global real estate, commercial operations and marketing that the Parent Company has incurred.  These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount or other measures.  These allocated costs are included within the line item “Selling, general and administrative expense” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and totaled $4.9 million and $4.7 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.  As discussed in Note 1, the Company considers these general corporate expense allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided.  The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as a stand-alone company. Actual costs which may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company in 2015 and 2014 would depend on a number of factors, including how the Company chose to organize itself, which functions, if any, were outsourced or performed by the Company employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology systems and infrastructure.  As such, financial information herin may not necessarily reflect the costs associated with the ongoing operations of the Company.

 

Research and Development Cost Sharing

 

The accompanying consolidated statements include charges from the Parent for research and development expenses that were incurred by the Parent Company and which provided a benefit to the Company.  These research and development expense allocations represent costs related to the Iclusig development activities including personnel, lab, overhead, professional services and other general expenses. These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of long-term revenue forecasts and are included within the line item “Research and development expense” in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.  The costs totaled $15.7 million and $12.6 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively.  These costs were primarily incurred as a result of a Development Cost Sharing Agreement that was entered into in 2012 whereby costs incurred by the Parent Company related to the development of Iclusig are shared.  As discussed in Note 1, the Company considers these expense allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided.  The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Company would have incurred as a stand-alone

company. As such, financial information herein may not necessarily reflect the costs associated with the ongoing operations of the Company.

In August 2012, the Company and ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into the Intellectual property loan totaling $298.8 million in conjunction with the purchase of the intellectual property rights of Iclusig for Europe by the Company. The loan had a stated interest rate of 2% until December 2014. The applicable interest rate since January 2015 has been the 90 day London Inter-bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 0.15%. In 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $1.6 million and $6.7 million, respectively, of interest expense. In 2014, the loan agreement was amended to change the notional currency from CHF to USD and to adjust interest rates to the current market. This resulted in an exchange gain of $34.7 million recorded in 2014. The loan is repayable in full on June 30, 2021.

 

At December 31, 2014, the loan was subordinated for an amount of $262.8 million to all other existing and future claims against the Company. At December 31, 2015, the subordinated amount increased to $297.7 million. The subordination of the loan was required due to the local legislation applicable to an entity that presents a net stockholder’s deficit.

 

The Credit facility was established in October 2012 to allow the Company to cover its operating expenses during a period of investment.  The initial approved amount was $65.0 million which was then subsequently increased to reach a total amount of $154.8 million in 2015. The Credit facility reflects an interest of 0.25% per year. The company recorded interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The loan is repayable in full on December 31, 2018.

 

Long-term debt with Parent Company will be impacted by the change in ownership as described in the subsequent events note.

 

Royalty Financing

 

In July 2015, the Parent Company entered into a royalty financing agreement with PDL BioPharma, Inc. (“PDL”).  In connection with the agreement, the Parent Company also entered into a security agreement with PDL. Under the security agreement, the Parent Company granted PDL a security interest in certain assets relating to Iclusig. These assets include the intellectual property rights for Europe licensed to the Company by the Parent Company.

 

7. Leases and Other Commitments

 

Facility and other leases

 

In January 2013, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 22,000 square feet of office space in a building, which the Company occupied in 2014. The term of the lease is for ten years, with options for extension of the term and an early termination at the Company’s option after five years. Future non-cancelable minimum annual lease payments under their lease are expected to be approximately $1.0 million per year in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, $1.1 million in 2020 and $3.2 million in total thereafter. The figures include the annual lease payments without considering the early termination option.

 

Total rent expense for the leases described above as well as other Company leases for 2015 and 2014 was $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Total future non-cancelable minimum annual rental payments for the leases described above as well as other Company leases, for the next five years and thereafter are $2.0 million, $1.9 million, $1.5 million, $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company provides disclosure of financial assets and financial liabilities that are carried at fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements may be classified based on the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities using the following three levels:

 

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.) and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

 

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

 

9. Stock Compensation

 

ARIAD Stock Option and Stock Plans

 

The Parent Company’s 2001, 2006 and 2014 stock option and stock plans (the “Plans”) provide for the awarding of nonqualified and incentive stock options, stock grants, restricted stock units, performance share units and other equity-based awards to officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Parent Company. Stock options become exercisable as specified in the related option certificate, typically over a three or four-year period, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock grants, restricted stock units and performance share units provide the recipient with ownership of common stock subject to terms of vesting, any rights the Parent Company may have to repurchase the shares granted or other restrictions. The 2001 and 2006 Plans have no shares remaining available for grant, although existing stock options granted under these Plans remain outstanding. As of December 31, 2015, there were 9,632,924 shares available for awards under the 2014 Plan. The Parent Company generally issues new shares upon the exercise or vesting of stock plan awards.

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

In 1997, the Parent Company adopted the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and reserved 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under this plan. The ESPP was amended in June 2008 to reserve an additional 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance and the plan was further amended in 2009 and in June 2015 to reserve an additional 750,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to each of those amendments. Under this plan, substantially all of the Company’s employees may, through payroll withholdings, purchase shares of the Parent Company’s common stock at a price of 85 percent of the lesser of the fair market value at the beginning or end of each three-month withholding period. In 2015 and 2014, 68,531 and 65,210 shares of common stock were issued to employees of the Company under the plan, respectively. Compensation cost is equal to the fair value of the discount on the date of grant and is recognized as compensation in the period of purchase.

Stock Options

 

Stock options are granted by the Parent Company with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Parent Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally vest ratably over three or four years and have contractual terms of ten years. Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and compensation cost is recognized based on such fair value over the period of vesting on a straight-line basis. The following table summarizes information about stock options as of and for the years ended December 31 as follows:

Stock and Stock Unit Grants

 

Stock and stock unit grants carry restrictions as to resale for periods of time or vesting provisions over time as specified in the grant. Stock and stock unit grants are valued at the closing market price of the Parent Company’s common stock on the date of grant and compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, vesting period or period during which restrictions remain on the common stock or stock units granted. Stock and stock unit activity under the Parent Company’s stock plans attributable to the Company’s employees for the year ended December 31, 2015 was as follows:

Included in stock and stock units outstanding in the table above also include 35,000 performance share units awarded on January 31 2014, of which 17,500 shares is dependent upon the achievement of specific commercial objectives by the end of 2015 and 17,500 shares is dependent upon the achievement and timing of the achievement of specific research and development objectives. The Company and the Parent Company have concluded that it is probable that these performance conditions will be met. The total compensation expense for the portion related to the research and development objectives may be up to 60 percent higher depending on the timing and level of performance met

 

Stock and stock units outstanding in the above table as of December 31, 2015 also include 42,400 performance share units awarded on April 29, 2015, the vesting of 17,400 units of which is dependent upon the achievement of certain market performance conditions. Of the remaining 25,000 performance share units, the vesting of fifty percent is dependent upon the achievement of specific commercial objectives by the end of 2015, and the vesting of the remainder is dependent upon the achievement and timing of the achievement, of specific research and development objectives. The Company and the Parent Company have concluded that it is probable that the performance condition will be met for the market performance condition and the research and development objectives, but not for the commercial objective. The total compensation expense for the portion related to the market performance and research and development objectives may be up to 60 percent higher depending on the timing and level of performance met.

Since the Company has not yet achieved sustained profitable operations, management believes most of its deferred tax assets do not satisfy the more likely than not realization criteria and has recorded a valuation allowance for a substantial portion of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The valuation allowance increased by $5.6 million in 2015 and $3.6 million in 2014.

 

The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized for these positions is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Deferred tax assets that do not meet these recognition criteria are not recorded and the Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions that may result in tax payments..

 

In 2015, the Company’s uncertain tax positions increased to approximately $0.8 million. A reconciliation of the reserve for uncertain tax benefits is as follows:

12. Defined Benefit Pension Obligation

 

In March 2013, the Company established a defined benefit pension plan for employees in its Switzerland subsidiary. The plan provides benefits to employees upon retirement, death or disability. The Company uses December 31 as the year-end measurement date for this plan.

13. Litigation

 

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various claims and legal proceedings. If the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceedings is considered probable and the amount is reasonably estimated, the Company will accrue a liability for the estimated loss.

 

14. Subsequent Events

 

Finalization of pricing and reimbursement negotiations in France

 

On May 17, 2016, the price of Iclusig in France became fixed upon completion of pricing and reimbursement negotiations with the health authority.  The aggregate gross selling price of the shipments under these programs amounted to $25 million through December 31, 2015, of which $23.5 million had been collected as of December 31, 2015.

 

The Company considered the completion of pricing and reimbursement negotiations in France as a non-adjusting post balance sheet subsequent event. Prior to May 17, 2016, the price of Iclusig was considered neither fixed nor determinable and consequently these shipments had not met the criteria for revenue recognition. The amount of cash collected from these shipments is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015.

 

19



 

Following the completion of pricing and reimbursement, the Company will record revenue in May 2016 of $24.4 million for the cumulative shipments through March 31, 2016, net of amounts that will be refunded to the health authority of $4.0 million.

 

Restructuring Actions

 

In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company incurred expenses of $1.1 million associated with employee workforce reductions of approximately 9 positions implemented in March 2016. The restructuring charges will be recorded and paid during 2016.

 

Change in ownership

 

On May 9, 2016, ARIAD Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Cayman) L.P. (the “Seller”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with  Incyte Corporation (“Incyte”) (as guarantor) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Incyte Europe S.a.r.l. (“Incyte Europe”), pursuant to which Incyte Europe has agreed to acquire from the Seller all of the outstanding shares of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l. (the”Company”), the parent company of ARIAD’s European subsidiaries for an upfront payment of $140 million (the “Upfront Payment”).

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement, the parties have also agreed on an Amended and Restated Buy-in License Agreement to be entered into between the Parent Company, Incyte (as guarantor) and the Company, one of the entities that will be owned by Incyte upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement (the “License Agreement”).  Under the terms of the License Agreement, Incyte will be granted an exclusive license to develop and commercialize Iclusig in the Territory (the “License”). The Parent Company will be entitled to receive tiered royalties from Incyte of between 32 percent and 50 percent of net sales of Iclusig in the Territory (the “Royalty Payments”). The Royalty Payments will be subject to adjustment for certain events, including events related to the expiration of statutory or regulatory exclusivity periods for the commercialization of Iclusig in the Territory.  In addition, the Parent Company will be eligible to receive up to $135 million in potential development and regulatory milestones for Iclusig in new oncology indications in the Territory, together with additional milestones for non-oncology indications, if approved, in the Territory.  Incyte has agreed to contribute up to $7.0 million in each of 2016 and 2017 to fund the Parent Company’s OPTIC and OPTIC-2L clinical trials. The terms of the License Agreement also include an option for an acquirer of ARIAD to re-purchase the licensed rights from Incyte, subject to certain conditions.

 

Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its provisions, the term of the License Agreement, including Incyte’s obligation to make the full Royalty Payments, will continue in effect on a country-by-country basis until the latest to occur of (1) the expiration date of the composition patent in the relevant country (which, for the countries in Europe covered by the patents, is generally July 2028, subject to a potential six-month extension for pediatric exclusivity), (2) the expiration of any regulatory marketing exclusivity period or other statutory designation that provides similar exclusivity for the commercialization of Iclusig in such country and (3) the seventh anniversary of the first commercial sale of Iclusig in such country; and thereafter, in the absence of generic competition, for a specified period of time in which Incyte will be obligated to pay royalties at a reduced rate.

 

The closing under the Share Purchase Agreement and effectiveness of the License Agreement is currently expected to occur on or about June 1, 2016, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. ARIAD Pharmaceuticals  (Australia) Pty Ltd is not part of the acquisition and will remain as a subsidiary of the Parent Company after closing of the transaction. As part of the closing of this transaction, the Parent Company and its subsidiaries will waive the debts and accrued interest due from the Company.  This debt waiver will be considered an equity contribution to the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Partners’ Meeting of

ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Luxembourg) Sàrl

Rue Eugene Ruppert 6

2453 Luxembourg

Luxembourg

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Luxembourg) Sàrl and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise  the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended,  and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted  in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether  due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals (Luxembourg) Sàrl and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As discussed in Note 1 and 6 to the financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company are used in managing the business of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in Europe. The financial statements include expense allocations for certain corporate functions historically provided by ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. These allocations may not be reflective of the actual expenses which would have been incurred had the Company operated as a separate entity apart from ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net equity deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 and 14 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
