Albo hat alle zukünftigen Royalties verkauft an HealthCare Royalty Partners, von daher werden Albo keine Royalties aus dem Verkauf von Elox zufließen. Dafür hat Albo ca. 60 Millionen Upfron bekommen. Zur Abschätzung der Royalties können die Revenues herangezogen werden. Die Royalties werden als Einkommen bei Albo aufgeführt, weil Albo sie erhält. Albo gibt sie aber danach direkt weiter an HCR. Ich wüsste nicht, wie Albo sonst zurzeit Revenue generieren sollte, von daher müssten die 2,1 Millionen in den letzten 3 Monaten ziemlich genau die Royalty Zahlungen abbilden, oder liege ich hier falsch?
In December 2017, the Company entered into a royalty interest acquisition agreement (RIAA) with HealthCare Royalty Partners III, L.P. (HCR) pursuant to which it sold to HCR the right to receive all royalties from sales in Japan and sales milestones achieved from any covered territory potentially payable to the Company under the Agreement, up to a specified maximum “cap” amount of $78.8 million, based on the funds the Company received from HCR. In January 2018, the Company received $44.5 million from HCR, net of certain transaction expenses, under the RIAA. On June 8, 2020, the parties entered into an amendment to the RIAA pursuant to which HCR agreed to pay the Company an additional $14.8 million, net of certain transactions expenses, in exchange for the elimination of the (i) $78.8 million cap amount on HCR’s rights to receive royalties on sales in Japan and sales milestones for elobixibat in certain other territories that may become payable by EA Pharma and (ii) the $15.0 million payable to the Company if a specified sales milestone is achieved for elobixibat in Japan. The Company is obligated to make royalty interest payments to HCR under the RIAA only to the extent it receives future Japanese royalties, sales milestones or other specified payments from EA Pharma. Although the Company sold its rights to receive royalties from the sales of elobixibat in Japan, as a result of its ongoing involvement in the cash flows related to these royalties, the Company will continue to account for these royalties as revenue. The Company recorded net cash totaling $59.3 million as a liability related to sale of future royalties (royalty obligation). The royalty obligation will be amortized using the effective interest rate method.
There was $2.1 million in revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $0.7 million. The higher revenue is due to the estimated royalty revenue to be received from EA Pharma for elobixibat for the treatment of chronic constipation.
There was $5.6 million in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $2.4 million. The increase in revenue is due to the estimated royalty revenue to be received from EA Pharma for elobixibat for the period. |
