6.      Discontinued Operations

On December 2, 2024, the Company and Intas entered into the UDENYCA Purchase Agreement. On April 11, 2025, the Company completed the divestiture of the UDENYCA Business to Intas for upfront, all-cash consideration of $483.4 million, inclusive of $118.4 million for UDENYCA product inventory. Such consideration is subject to certain adjustments that will be finalized following the closing pursuant to the UDENYCA Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Company is also eligible to receive two additional Earnout Payments of $37.5 million each. The first such payment is payable by Intas to the Company if Net Sales of UDENYCA for four consecutive fiscal quarters from July 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026 are equal to or greater than $300 million, and the second such payment is payable by Intas to the Company if Net Sales of UDENYCA for four consecutive fiscal quarters from July 1, 2025 through March 31, 2027 are equal to or greater than $350 million.

On June 26, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its YUSIMRY immunology franchise, which comprised certain assets, including certain YUSIMRY intellectual property, contracts, YUSIMRY inventory, and all activities related to research and development of YUSIMRY for upfront cash consideration of $40.0 million and assumed certain liabilities, including $17.0 million of inventory purchase commitments (the “YUSIMRY Sale”).

On March 1, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its CIMERLI ophthalmology franchise through the sale of its subsidiary, Coherus Ophthalmology LLC (“Coherus Ophthalmology”), to Sandoz for upfront, all-cash consideration of $187.8 million, inclusive of $17.8 million for CIMERLI product inventory and prepaid manufacturing assets (the “CIMERLI Sale” and, together with the UDENYCA Sale and the YUSIMRY Sale, the “Sale Transactions”).

As of the date of the Company’s stockholder vote, the UDENYCA Sale represented the last and most significant divestiture of the Company’s biosimilar businesses, which comprised the UDENYCA, YUSIMRY and CIMERLI franchises; therefore, the strategic shift criteria had been met. Accordingly, for all prior periods presented, the results of the discontinued operations have been reported as a separate component of income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been presented separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is using a portion of the proceeds of the UDENYCA Sale to fully repay the outstanding 2026 Convertible Notes and to buy out the right to receive royalties on net sales of UDENYCA in accordance with the Revenue Purchase and Sale Agreement (see Note 13. Subsequent Events); therefore, the interest expense associated with these arrangements has been presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, the interest expense on the $175.0 million portion of the $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the senior secured term loan facility that the Company entered into on January 5, 2022 (as amended, the “2027 Term Loans”) that was required to be repaid in April 2024 in connection with the CIMERLI Sale has been presented as discontinued operations.

The following table presents a reconciliation of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

Cash flows from continuing operations and discontinued operations are presented together in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, changes in operating assets and liabilities of discontinued operations were primarily due to an increase in inventory of $22.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, changes in operating assets and liabilities of discontinued operations resulted in a net cash inflow primarily due to a decrease in prepaid manufacturing of $10.0 million and a decrease in inventory of $2.4 million.

In connection with the Sale Transactions, the Company entered into separate Transition Services Agreements (“TSAs”) with each of the buyers pursuant to which the Company is providing certain business support services including billings, collections, and the remittance of rebates, to ensure business continuity for patients and customers for specified periods. Under each of the TSAs, the Company is entitled to be reimbursed for its costs and has recorded income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
