Samsung Collaboration Samsung Collaboration
The Company is party to a Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “Samsung Agreement”) with Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. (“Samsung Bioepis”) to develop and commercialize multiple pre-specified biosimilar candidates, which have since launched and are part of the Company's product portfolio.

On May 22, 2026, the Samsung Agreement was amended to include commercialization rights for Pyzchiva®2 (ustekinumab biosimilar) in Canada. Samsung Bioepis retains full development, manufacturing, and regulatory responsibilities (“Amendment No. 8”).

On May 26, 2026, the Samsung Agreement was amended to extend commercialization rights for certain biosimilar products, including Renflexis and Brenzys, in specified markets for up to seven years beyond the original contract term (“Amendment No. 9”).

In connection with Amendment No. 9, the Company is required to make fixed payments totaling $30 million over a nine-year period from 2026 through 2034. The Company recorded an intangible asset and corresponding liability of $20.8 million, the present value of the future payments. The intangible asset will be amortized over nine years.

The liability is accreted to its contractual value over time using the effective interest method, with accretion recognized within Interest expense to reflect the nature of the underlying arrangement.
Amendment No. 9 also includes the return of commercialization rights to Samsung for certain oncology biosimilars, including Ontruzant and Aybintio, in specified ex‑U.S. markets such as Europe, Canada, and Brazil. These returns of rights are subject to defined, phased transition and cutover periods extending from 2026 through 2029, during which the Company may continue to commercialize products and fulfill contractual obligations.

On June 2, 2026, the Samsung Agreement was amended to include commercialization rights for Epyztek®2 in Australia. Samsung Bioepis retains full development, manufacturing, and regulatory responsibilities (“Amendment No. 10”).

Under the broader agreement, Samsung Bioepis is responsible for preclinical and clinical development, process development and manufacturing, clinical trials and registration of product candidates, and the Company has an exclusive license for worldwide commercialization with certain geographic exceptions specified on a product-by-product basis. The Company's access rights to each product under the agreement last for 10 years from each product's launch date on a market-by-market basis. Gross profits are shared equally in all markets with the exception of certain markets in Brazil where gross profits are shared 65% to Samsung Bioepis and 35% to the Company. Since the Company is the principal on sales transactions with third parties, the Company recognizes sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses on a gross basis. Generally, profit sharing adjustments are recorded either to Cost of sales (after commercialization) or Selling, general and administrative expenses (prior to commercialization).
