| License Agreement | 7. License Agreement License Agreement with Norgine Pharma UK Limited On March 17, 2024, the Company announced that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fennec Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Norgine, pursuant to which Norgine is granted an exclusive license to commercialize the Company’s product PEDMARQSI® (known as PEDMARK® in the United States) for all human indications in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand (collectively, the “Territory”). On July 26, 2024, Norgine and Fennec amended the Agreement. The amended Agreement maintains all principal payment terms with the primary addition of Norgine assuming responsibility for packaging and labeling of PEDMARQSI®.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Fennec shall receive the following payments from Norgine: (i) an upfront payment in the amount of €40 million or approximately $43.2 million, which was paid to Fennec on March 15, 2024, (ii) up to €210 million (or approximately $230 million) upon the achievement of certain regulatory and commercial milestones, and (iii) tiered royalty payments based on net sales of PEDMARQSI® in the Territory, which royalty payment range from mid-teen percent to mid-twenty percent based on the aggregate net sales of PEDMARQSI® in the Territory. The tiered royalty payments are subject to material reduction if an alternative or generic version of PEDMARQSI® becomes available in any respective country or jurisdiction within the Territory.
Subject to customary rights of each party to earlier terminate the Agreement, the term of the Agreement continues for the longer of: (i) March 15, 2034, or (ii) with respect to any particular country in the Territory, (a) the expiration of regulatory market exclusivity for PEDMARQSI® in such country, or (b) the last-to-expire of all patents for PEDMARQSI® in such country. The term of the Agreement shall be automatically renewed for additional three-year periods unless either party provides the other party written notice of its intent not to renew the Agreement at least one year prior to the applicable termination date of the Agreement. The Company evaluated the Agreement under ASC 606 and concluded that Norgine is a customer in the arrangement. The Company identified two performance obligations under the Agreement: a license of functional intellectual property and a material right for future supply. A portion of the non-refundable upfront payment was allocated to the license and recognized as license revenue in 2024, and the portion associated with the material right was deferred and is reflected as contract liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, contract liabilities related to the Agreement were $24,809 and $24,809, respectively, consisting of $248 classified as current and $24,561 classified as long-term. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not recognize any milestone or royalty revenue under the Agreement. In conjunction with entering into the Agreement, the Company paid approximately $1,700 in incremental costs, which were capitalized and recorded within other non-current assets. The Company amortizes the asset over the period of expected benefit using a systematic basis that reflects the pattern of transfer to Norgine. A portion that represents the license was recognized immediately and is recorded within selling and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, $691 in incremental cost was capitalized. |
