Bayer Exclusive License
On March 1, 2024, certain subsidiaries of the Company, including Eidos, BridgeBio International GmbH and BridgeBio Europe B.V. (collectively, the “Seller Parties”), entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “Bayer License Agreement”) with Bayer Consumer Care AG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bayer AG (“Bayer”), to develop and commercialize acoramidis as a treatment for transthyretin amyloidosis in the EU and all member and extension states of the European Patent Organization (the “Licensed Territory”).
Under the terms of the Bayer License Agreement, the Seller Parties granted Bayer an exclusive license on March 26, 2024 to certain of the Seller Parties’ intellectual property rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize acoramidis (previously known as AG10) in the Licensed Territory. In consideration for the license grant, the Seller Parties are entitled to receive an upfront payment of $135.0 million, up to $150.0 million in regulatory and sales milestone payments through 2026, and additional payments up to $450.0 million subject to the achievement of certain sales milestones under the Bayer License Agreement. To date, we have received $210.0 million relating to the upfront payment and regulatory and sales milestones. In addition, the Seller Parties are entitled to receive royalties according to a tiered structure starting in the low-thirties percent on net sales by Bayer of acoramidis in the Licensed Territory, subject to reduction under certain circumstances as provided in the Bayer License Agreement.
Unless earlier terminated, the Bayer License Agreement will expire at the end of the royalty term for a licensed product, provided that the licenses granted to Bayer for such licensed product survive such expiration on a non-exclusive basis. Either party may terminate the Bayer License Agreement in the event of a material breach or insolvency of the other party or in the event merger control proceedings are started and clearances are not obtained. Additionally, Bayer may terminate the Bayer License Agreement for convenience upon at least 270 days prior written notice, and the Seller Parties may terminate the Bayer License Agreement in the event Bayer ceases exploitation of acoramidis under certain circumstances or challenges the validity or enforceability of the Seller Parties’ patent rights.
We determined that the Bayer License Agreement falls within the scope of ASC 606 as Bayer is a customer in this arrangement, and we identified the following performance obligations in the agreement:
an exclusive license to develop and commercialize acoramidis in the Licensed Territory and the related know-how; and
research and development services to conduct ongoing clinical trials.
We determined that the performance obligations outlined above are capable of being distinct and distinct with the context of the contract given such rights and activities are independent of each other. The license can be used by Bayer without the development services. Similarly, those services provide a distinct benefit to Bayer within the context of the contract, separate from the license, as the services could be provided by Bayer or another third party without our assistance.
We determined the initial transaction price at inception of the Bayer License Agreement to be $135.0 million, which is composed of the fixed and non-refundable upfront payment. The remaining future potential regulatory and sales milestone payments were not included in the initial transaction price as they were determined to be fully constrained under ASC 606. We include variable consideration in our transaction price to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. As part of management’s evaluation of the variable consideration, we considered numerous factors, including the fact that achievement of the milestones is outside of our control, contingent upon the success of our existing clinical trials, Bayer’s efforts, and receipt of regulatory approval that is subject to scientific risks of success. Royalty arrangements and commercial-based milestones will be recognized when the sales occur or the milestones are achieved pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception under ASC 606 because the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or commercial-based milestones relate. In February 2025, the EC granted marketing authorization in the EU for acoramidis, under the brand name Beyonttra. Since the uncertainty of the variable consideration related to the regulatory milestone was resolved, we updated the transaction price to include this consideration, and accordingly, we recognized $75.0 million as license and services revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025. We will continue to re-evaluate the transaction price at each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur. Upon receiving marketing authorization in the EU, Bayer began selling Beyonttra, of which we are entitled to royalties on net product revenue.
We allocated the initial transaction price of $135.0 million based on the stand-alone selling prices (“SSP”) of each of the performance obligations as follows:
$130.5 million for the upfront transfer of the license; and
$4.5 million for the research and development services to conduct the ongoing clinical trials.
The SSP for the license was determined using an approach that considered discounted, probability-weighted cash flows related to the license transferred. The SSP for the ongoing research and development services were based on estimates of the associated effort and cost of these services, adjusted for a reasonable gross profit margin that would be expected to be realized under similar contracts.
We recognize revenue for each of the two performance obligations as follows:
We recognize revenue related to the license at a point in time upon transfer of the rights and control of the license to Bayer. The transfer of the rights and control of the license occurred in March 2024; thus, we recognized the full amount allocated to the license and related know-how in 2024.
We recognize revenue related to the research and development services for the ongoing clinical trials over time using an input method to measure progress by utilizing costs incurred to date relative to total expected costs. We expect the research and development services for ongoing clinical trials to extend through 2029. We recognized $0.2 million and $0.4 million of license and services revenue relating to this performance obligation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. We recognized $0.4 million and $0.7 million of license and services revenue relating to this performance obligation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were $17.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of outstanding receivables relating to the Bayer License Agreement on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized license and services revenue and royalty revenue of $17.6 million and $27.9 million, respectively, under the Bayer License Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized license and services revenue and royalty revenue of $2.6 million and $78.6 million, respectively, under the Bayer License Agreement. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 includes a deferred revenue balance of $2.5 million ($0.8 million presented as “Deferred revenue, current portion” and $1.7 million as “Deferred revenue, net of current portion”) related to our research and development services obligations. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, includes a deferred revenue balance of $2.9 million ($0.8 million presented as “Deferred revenue, current portion” and $2.1 million as “Deferred revenue, net of current portion”) related to our research and development services obligations.
Kyowa Kirin Exclusive License
In February 2024, the Company’s subsidiary, QED, and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd (“Kyowa Kirin” or “KKC”) entered into a license and collaboration agreement pursuant to which QED granted Kyowa Kirin an exclusive license to develop, manufacture, and commercialize infigratinib for achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia, and other skeletal dysplasias in Japan, in accordance with the terms therein (the “KKC License Agreement”). In consideration for the license grant, QED is entitled to receive an upfront payment of $100.0 million and development and sales milestone payments up to $81.4 million. To date, we have received $100.0 million relating to the upfront payment. In addition, QED is entitled to receive royalties up to the mid-twenties percent on net sales of infigratinib in Japan.
Unless earlier terminated, the KKC License Agreement will expire at the end of the royalty term for a licensed product, provided that the licenses granted to Kyowa Kirin for such licensed product survive such expiration on a non-exclusive basis. Either party may terminate the KKC License Agreement in the event of a material breach or insolvency of the other party. Additionally, Kyowa Kirin may terminate the KKC License Agreement for convenience upon at least 180 days’ prior written notice, and QED may terminate the KKC License Agreement in the event Kyowa Kirin ceases exploitation of infigratinib under certain circumstances or challenges the validity or enforceability of Kyowa Kirin’s patent rights.
We determined that the KKC License Agreement falls within the scope of ASC 606 as Kyowa Kirin is a customer in this arrangement, and we identified the following performance obligations in the agreement:
an exclusive license to develop and commercialize infigratinib for achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia and other skeletal dysplasias in Japan and the related know-how; and
research and development services to conduct ongoing clinical trials.
We determined that the performance obligations outlined above are capable of being distinct and distinct with the context of the contract given such rights and activities are independent of each other. The license can be used by Kyowa Kirin without any development activities. Similarly, those services provide a distinct benefit to Kyowa Kirin within the context of the contract, separate from the license, as the services could be provided by Kyowa Kirin or another third party without our assistance.
We determined the initial transaction price at inception of the KKC License Agreement to be $100.0 million, which consisted of the fixed and non-refundable upfront payment. No additional development or sales milestone payments are included in the transaction price, as all such payments are variable consideration that are fully constrained as of June 30, 2026. We include variable consideration in our transaction price to the extent that it is probable that it will not result in a significant revenue reversal when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. As part of management’s evaluation of the variable consideration, we considered numerous factors, including the fact that achievement of the milestones is outside of our control, contingent upon the success of our existing and future clinical trials, Kyowa Kirin’s efforts, and receipt of regulatory approval that is subject to scientific risks of success. Royalty arrangements and commercial-based milestones will be recognized when the sales occur or the milestones are achieved pursuant to the sales-based royalty exception under ASC 606 because the license is the predominant item to which the royalties or commercial-based milestones relate. We will re-evaluate the transaction price at each reporting period and as uncertain events are resolved or other changes in circumstances occur.
We allocated the transaction price of $100.0 million based on the SSP of each of the performance obligations as follows:
$69.1 million for the upfront transfer of the license; and
$30.9 million for research and development services to conduct the ongoing clinical trials.
The SSP for the license was determined using an approach that considered discounted, probability-weighted cash flows related to the license transferred. The SSP for the ongoing research and development services were based on estimates of the associated effort and cost of these services, adjusted for a reasonable gross profit margin that would be expected to be realized under similar contracts.
We recognize revenue for each of the two performance obligations as follows:
We recognize revenue related to the license at a point in time upon transfer of the rights and control of the license to KKC. The transfer of the rights and control of the license occurred in February 2024; thus, we recognized the full amount allocated to the license and related know-how in 2024.
We recognize revenue relating to the research and development services for the ongoing clinical trials over time using an input method to measure progress by utilizing costs incurred to date relative to total expected costs. We expect the research and development services to extend through 2030. We recognized $1.4 million and $3.5 million of license and services revenue relating to this performance obligation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. We recognized $3.5 million and $5.8 million of license and services revenue relating to this performance obligation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized license and services revenue of $1.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, under the KKC License Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized license and services revenue of $4.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively, under the KKC License Agreement. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 includes a deferred revenue balance of $11.2 million ($3.8 million presented as “Deferred revenue, current portion” and $7.4 million as “Deferred revenue, net of current portion”) related to our research and development services obligation and clinical supply. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 includes a deferred revenue balance of $14.6 million ($5.4 million presented as “Deferred revenue, current portion” and $9.2 million as “Deferred revenue, net of current portion”) related to our research and development services obligation.
License Agreement with Alexion
In September 2019, Eidos entered into an exclusive license agreement with Alexion Pharma International Operations Limited Company, a subsidiary of Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together, “Alexion”) (the “Eidos-Alexion License Agreement”), to develop, manufacture, and commercialize in Japan the compound known as acoramidis (previously known as AG10) and any of its various chemical forms and any pharmaceutical products containing acoramidis. Under the Eidos-Alexion License Agreement, Eidos received an upfront nonrefundable payment of $25.0 million and became eligible to receive a regulatory milestone payment of $30.0 million. Following pricing approval from the National Health Insurance in Japan in May 2025, the regulatory milestone was fully achieved and recognized as license and services revenue. Under the Eidos-Alexion License Agreement, Eidos is eligible to receive royalties in the low-teens percent on net sales by Alexion of acoramidis in Japan. The royalty rate is subject to reduction if Alexion is required to obtain intellectual property rights from third-parties to develop, manufacture or commercialize acoramidis in Japan, or upon the introduction of generic competition into the market.
Eidos accounted for the Eidos-Alexion License Agreement under ASC 606 and identified the exclusive license as a distinct performance obligation since Alexion can benefit from the license on its own by developing and commercializing the underlying product using its own resources.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized license and services and royalty revenue of $1.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively, under the Eidos-Alexion License Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized license and services and royalty revenue of $31.0 million and $32.0 million, respectively, under the Eidos-Alexion License Agreement. The receivables relating to the Eidos-Alexion License Agreement were immaterial for all periods presented.
