AGENUS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2017

 

Note A - Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation

Agenus Inc. (including its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “Agenus,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company focused on the discovery and development of therapies that engage the body’s immune system to fight cancer. Our approach to cancer immunotherapy involves a diverse portfolio of antibody-based therapeutics, adjuvants and cancer vaccine platforms. We, in collaboration with our partners, are developing a number of immuno-modulatory antibodies against important nodes of immune regulation.  These include antibodies targeting CTLA-4, GITR, OX40 and PD-1 that are in clinical development. Our discovery pipeline consists of a number of proprietary checkpoint modulating (“CPM”) antibodies against innovative targets such as TIGIT and 4-1BB (also known as CD137).  We believe that tailored combination therapies are essential to combat some of the most resistant cancers.  Accordingly, our immune education strategy focuses on pursing antibodies as well as vaccine candidates in conjunction with adjuvants.  We are developing a comprehensive immuno-oncology portfolio driven by the following platforms and programs, which we intend to utilize individually and in combination:

 

our antibody discovery platforms, including our Retrocyte Display™, SECANT® yeast display, and phage display technologies designed to produce quality human antibodies;

 

our antibody candidate programs, including our CPM programs;

 

our vaccine programs, including Prophage™, AutoSynVax™ and PhosPhoSynVaxTM; and

 

our saponin-based vaccine adjuvants, principally our QS-21 Stimulon® adjuvant (“QS-21 Stimulon”).

Our business activities have included product research and development, intellectual property prosecution, manufacturing, regulatory and clinical affairs, corporate finance and development activities, and support of our collaborations. Our product candidates require clinical trials and approvals from regulatory agencies, as well as acceptance in the marketplace. Part of our strategy is to develop and commercialize some of our product candidates by continuing our existing arrangements with academic and corporate collaborators and licensees and by entering into new collaborations.

Our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments at June 30, 2017 were $96.8 million, an increase of $20.3 million from December 31, 2016.

The following table outlines our quarter end cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances and the changes therein.

 As of December 31, 2016, we along with all public companies, adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2014-15 (“ASU 2014-15”), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern which requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months after the date each periodic financial statement is issued.  This disclosure is a result of and in accordance with the provisions of this standard.  We have incurred significant losses since our inception. As of June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $954.6 million. Since our inception, we have successfully financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity and convertible and other notes, corporate partnerships, and interest income earned on cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments balances. Based on our current plans and activities, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance of $96.8 million as of June 30, 2017 would only be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements through the first quarter of 2018 without any additional funding before that time, which we anticipate.  Regardless of this anticipated funding, in accordance with ASU 2014-15 this is deemed to be a condition which raises substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year from when these financial statements were issued.  In order to continue as a going concern, we expect to raise additional funding from currently contemplated transactions before year end. We also continue to monitor the likelihood of success of our key initiatives and are prepared to discontinue funding of such activities if they do not prove to be feasible, restrict capital expenditures and/or reduce the scale of our operations, if necessary.

5


Our future liquidity needs will be determined primarily by the success of our operations with respect to the progression of our product candidates and key development and regulatory events in the future. We anticipate raising additional funding by: (1) pursuing collaboration, out-licensing and/or partnering opportunities for our portfolio programs and product candidates with one or more third parties, (2) renegotiating third party agreements, (3) selling assets, (4) securing additional debt financing and/or (5) selling equity securities.  We believe the execution of one or more of these transactions will enable us to fund our planned operations for at least one year from when these financial statements were issued.  Our ability to address our liquidity needs will largely be determined by the success of our product candidates and key development and regulatory events and our decisions in the future as well as the execution of one or more of the aforementioned contemplated transactions.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. For further information, refer to our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2017.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

For our foreign subsidiaries the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using rates in effect at the balance sheet date while revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. The cumulative translation adjustment resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in total stockholders’ deficit.

 

 

Note B - Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including common shares issuable under our Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, or “DDCP”). Diluted income per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including common shares issuable under our DDCP) plus the dilutive effect of outstanding instruments such as warrants, stock options, nonvested shares, convertible preferred stock, and convertible notes. Because we reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders for all periods presented, diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per common share, as the effect of utilizing the fully diluted share count would have reduced the net loss per common share. Therefore, the following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, as they would be anti-dilutive:

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received proceeds of approximately $5.0 million from the maturity of U.S. Treasury Bills classified as short-term investments. As a result of the short-term nature of our investments, there were minimal unrealized holding gains or losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Of the investments listed above, $80.6 million and $48.9 million have been classified as cash equivalents and $14.9 million and $5.0 million as short-term investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

In June 2016, we executed a capital lease agreement that expires in June 2020 for equipment with a carrying value of approximately $0.9 million, which is included in property, plant and equipment, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017. Under the terms of the capital lease agreement, we will remit payments to the lessor of $144,000 for the remainder of 2017, $288,000 for each of the years 2018 through 2019 and $144,000 for the year ending December 31, 2020.  As of June 30, 2017, our remaining obligations under the capital lease agreement are approximately $0.8 million, of which $290,000 and $465,000 are classified as other current and other long-term liabilities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In March 2017, we and the holders of our subordinated notes issued in February 2015 (the “2015 Subordinated Notes”) entered into an Amendment to Notes and Warrants, pursuant to which the parties (i) extended the term of the 2013 Warrants by two years from April 15, 2017 to April 15, 2019 and (ii) extended the maturity date of the 2015 Notes by two years from February 20, 2018 to February 20, 2020.  This resulted in an additional debt discount of $0.7 million, which will be amortized using the effective interest method over three years, the expected life of the 2015 Subordinated Notes. The 2013 Warrants and 2015 Subordinated Notes are otherwise unchanged.

Note G - Fair Value Measurements

We measure our cash equivalents and short-term investments and contingent purchase price considerations at fair value.  Our cash equivalents and short-term investments are comprised solely of U.S. Treasury Bills that are valued using quoted market prices with no valuation adjustments applied.  Accordingly, these securities are categorized as Level 1 assets.

The fair values of our contingent purchase price considerations, $6.5 million, are based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which require them to be reported as Level 3 liabilities within the fair value hierarchy. The valuation of these liabilities use assumptions we believe would be made by a market participant and are based on estimates from a Monte Carlo simulation of our market capitalization and share price, and other factors impacting the probability of triggering the milestone payments. Market capitalization and share price were evolved using a geometric brownian motion, calculated daily for the life of the contingent purchase price considerations.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized below (in thousands):

The estimated fair values of all of our financial instruments, excluding our outstanding debt, approximate their carrying amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of our outstanding debt balance at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $136.5 million and $129.2 million, respectively, based on the Level 2 valuation hierarchy of the fair value measurements standard using a present value methodology that was derived by evaluating the nature and terms of each note and considering the prevailing economic and market conditions at the balance sheet date. The principal amount of our outstanding debt balance at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $114.1 million.

Note H - Collaboration Agreement

 

On February 14, 2017, we amended our License, Development and Commercialization Agreement, dated January 9, 2015, with Incyte Corporation (“Incyte”) by entering into a First Amendment to License, Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the GITR and OX40 programs immediately converted from profit-share programs to royalty-bearing programs and we became eligible to receive a flat 15% royalty on global net sales should any candidates from either of these two programs be approved. Incyte is now responsible for global development and commercialization and all associated costs for these programs. In addition, the profit-share programs relating to the two undisclosed targets were removed from the collaboration, with one reverting to Incyte and one to us. Should any of those programs be successfully developed by a party, the other party will be eligible to receive the same milestone payments as the royalty-bearing programs and royalties at a 15% rate on global net sales. The terms for the remaining three royalty-bearing programs targeting TIM-3, LAG-3 and one undisclosed target remain unchanged, with Incyte being responsible for global development and commercialization and all associated costs. The Amendment gives Incyte exclusive rights and all decision-making authority for manufacturing, development, and commercialization with respect to all royalty-bearing programs.

 

In connection with the Amendment, Incyte paid us $20.0 million in accelerated milestones related to the clinical development of the antibody candidates targeting GITR and OX40. We are now eligible to receive up to an additional $510.0 million in future potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones across all programs in the collaboration. The Company recognized the $20.0 million received as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

On February 14, 2017, we also entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Incyte, pursuant to which Incyte purchased 10 million shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $6.00 per share. Immediately following the transaction, Incyte owned approximately 18.1% of our outstanding shares. Under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Incyte agreed not to dispose of any of the Shares for a period of 12 months and to vote the Shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Agenus board of directors in connection with certain equity incentive plan or compensation matters for a period of 18 months, and we agreed to certain registration rights with respect to the Shares. Under the Amendment, the parties also revised the existing standstill provision to permit Incyte’s acquisition of the Shares, but Incyte is precluded from acquiring any additional shares of our voting stock until December 31, 2019.

 

 

Note I - Share-based Compensation Plans

 

We primarily use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock options granted to employees and non-employees, including stock options granted to members of our Board of Directors. All stock options have 10-year terms and generally vest ratably over a 3 or 4-year period. A non-cash charge to operations for the stock options granted to non-employees that have vesting or other performance criteria is affected each reporting period, until the non-employee options vest, by changes in the fair value of our common stock.
