5. Royalty and Commercial Payment Purchase Agreements

Short-term royalty and commercial payment receivables were $14.3 million and $14.2 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables were $69.7 million and $58.0 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Daré Royalty Purchase Agreements

On April 29, 2024, the Company entered into the Daré RPAs. Pursuant to the terms of the Daré RPAs, the Company paid $22.0 million in cash to Daré in consideration for the sale of (a) 100% of all remaining royalties related to XACIATO not already subject to the royalty-backed financing agreement Daré entered into in December 2023 and net of payments owed by Daré to upstream licensors, which equates to royalties ranging from low to high single digits, and of all potential commercial milestones related to XACIATO that are payable to Daré under the Daré Organon License Agreement; (b) a 4% synthetic royalty on net sales of OVAPRENE and a 2% synthetic royalty on net sales of Sildenafil Cream, which will decrease to 2.5% and 1.25%, respectively, upon the Company achieving a pre-specified return

threshold; and (c) a portion of Daré’s right to a certain milestone payment that may become payable to Daré under the Bayer License Agreement. The Daré RPAs also provide for milestone payments to Daré of $11.0 million for each successive $22.0 million received by the Company under the Daré RPAs after achievement of a return threshold of $88.0 million.

Upon closing of the transaction, the Company paid Daré an upfront payment of $22.0 million, which was recorded as long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024. The Company concluded that the milestone payments to Daré did not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and expects to recognize the milestone payments as liabilities when probable and estimable.

Given the limited available information, the Company was unable to reliably estimate future net sales and the commercial payments to be received over the twelve-month period following the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and, as such, no amounts were reflected as short-term royalty and commercial payment receivables as of June 30, 2024.

Under the cost recovery method, the Company does not expect to recognize any income related to milestones and commercial payments received until the purchase price has been fully collected. The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024.

Talphera Commercial Payment Purchase Agreement

DSUVIA was approved by the FDA in 2018 for use in adults in certified medically supervised healthcare settings. In April 2023, Talphera divested DSUVIA to Alora for an upfront payment, a 15% royalty on commercial net sales of DSUVIA and up to $116.5 million in sales-based milestone payments under the Talphera APA. In addition, Talphera is entitled to 75% of net sales of DSUVIA to the DoD for its services performed to support sales of DSUVIA to the DoD under the Talphera Marketing Agreement.

On January 12, 2024, the Company entered into the Talphera CPPA, pursuant to which XOMA will receive (i) 100% of the 15% royalty on commercial net sales and the sales-based milestones related to net sales of DSUVIA for sales made on and after January 1, 2024, and (ii) 100% of Talphera’s future service revenue in the amount of 75% of net sales of DSUVIA to the DoD, until the Company receives $20.0 million. Thereafter, the Company will fully retain the 15% royalty on commercial net sales of DSUVIA and will share equally with Talphera the 75% of net sales of DSUVIA to the DoD and the remaining sales-based milestone payments due from Alora.

Upon closing of the transaction, the Company paid Talphera an upfront payment of $8.0 million, which was recorded as long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables in its consolidated balance sheet.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received commercial payments pursuant to the Talphera CPPA of $51,000. In accordance with the cost recovery method, the cash received was recorded as a direct reduction of the long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables balance.

Given the limited available information, the Company was unable to reliably estimate future net sales and the commercial payments to be received over the twelve-month period following the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and, as such, no amounts were reflected as short-term royalty and commercial payment receivables as of June 30, 2024.

Under the cost recovery method, the Company does not expect to recognize any income related to milestones and commercial payments received until the purchase price has been fully collected. The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024.

LadRx Agreements

On June 21, 2023, the Company entered into the LadRx AAA pursuant to which the Company acquired from LadRx all of its rights, title and interest related to arimoclomol under the Zevra APA between Zevra and LadRx. The Company also entered into the LadRx RPA, pursuant to which the Company acquired the right to receive all of the future

royalties, regulatory and commercial milestone payments as well as other related payments due to LadRx from ImmunityBio related to aldoxorubicin under the ImmunityBio License Agreement between ImmunityBio and LadRx.

On June 3, 2024, the ImmunityBio License Agreement was terminated, and the Company entered into an amendment to the LadRx RPA. Under the LadRx RPA, as amended, the Company is eligible to receive potential low single-digit percentage royalty payments on aggregate net sales of aldoxorubicin. Additionally, the amendment removed the remaining $4.0 million regulatory milestone payment under the original agreement that had been contingent upon the achievement of a specified regulatory milestone for the product candidate related to aldoxorubicin, which initially and as of the amendment date had a fair value of zero. If LadRx licenses aldoxorubicin to an applicable third party, the Company is eligible to receive potential high single-digit percentage royalty payments on aggregate net sales of aldoxorubicin and a portion of any potential future milestone payments.

Upon the initial closing of the LadRx Agreements, the Company paid LadRx an upfront payment of $5.0 million and could have been required to pay up to an additional $6.0 million in regulatory and commercial sales milestone payments which included $5.0 million related to regulatory milestone payments and $1.0 million related to commercial sales milestone payments. The Company concluded that the regulatory milestone payments of $5.0 million met the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and should be accounted for at fair value and recorded as a current liability at the inception of the transaction. The fair value of the regulatory milestone payments was estimated to be $1.0 million. The Company concluded the commercial milestone payment of $1.0 million did not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and a liability will be recognized when probable and estimable.

At the inception of the LadRx Agreements, the Company recorded $6.0 million as long-term royalty receivables related to the aggregate of the arimoclomol and aldoxorubicin payment rights acquired, which included the $5.0 million upfront payment and $1.0 million for the estimated fair value of the regulatory milestone payments.

On January 11, 2024, Zevra announced that the FDA accepted its NDA resubmission for arimoclomol and pursuant to the LadRx Agreements, the Company made a $1.0 million milestone payment to LadRx in January 2024 and the LadRx contingent consideration liability was reduced to zero as of June 30, 2024.

Under the cost recovery method, the Company does not expect to recognize any income related to royalties, milestone payments and other payments until the purchase price has been fully collected. The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Aptevo Commercial Payment Purchase Agreement

On March 29, 2023, the Company entered into the Aptevo CPPA, pursuant to which the Company acquired from Aptevo a portion of its milestone and commercial payment rights under a sale agreement dated February 28, 2020 between Aptevo and Medexus, related to IXINITY, which is marketed by Medexus for the control and prevention of bleeding episodes and postoperative management in people with Hemophilia B.

The Company is eligible to receive a mid-single digit percentage of all IXINITY quarterly net sales from January 1, 2023 until the first quarter of 2035, and will be entitled to milestone payments of up to $5.3 million.

At the inception of the Aptevo CPPA, the Company recorded $9.7 million as long-term royalty receivables in its consolidated balance sheet which included a $9.6 million upfront payment and a $50,000 one-time payment, which would be due if XOMA received more than $0.5 million in receipts for first quarter 2023 sales of IXINITY. At inception of the agreement, the Company concluded the one-time payment of $50,000 was probable and reasonably estimable. Therefore, the payment was recorded as a contingent liability under ASC 450 in the consolidated balance sheet at inception. The Company paid the one-time payment of $50,000 in June 2023 when related receipts exceeded $0.5 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Company received total commercial payments pursuant to the Aptevo CPPA of $1.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received commercial payments pursuant to the Aptevo CPPA of $0.8 million. In accordance with the cost recovery method, the cash received was recorded as a direct reduction of the long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables balance.

Though the Company is unable to reliably estimate its commercial payment stream from sales of future net sales and the commercial payments to be received under the agreement, it has a more accurate projection of the commercial payments expected for the twelve-month period following the consolidated balance sheet dates. As such, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as short-term royalty and commercial payment receivables.

Under the cost recovery method, the Company does not expect to recognize any income related to milestones and commercial payment received until the purchase price has been fully collected. The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Agenus Royalty Purchase Agreement

On September 20, 2018, the Company entered into the Agenus RPA, pursuant to which the Company acquired the right to receive 33% of the future royalties on six Incyte Europe S.a.r.l. (“Incyte”) immuno-oncology assets, currently in development, due to Agenus from Incyte (net of certain royalties payable by Agenus to a third party) and 10% of all future developmental, regulatory and commercial milestone payments related to these assets. However, the Company did not have a right to the expected near-term milestone associated with the entry of INCAGN2390 (anti-TIM-3) into its Phase 1 clinical trial. The future royalties due to Agenus from Incyte are based on low single to mid-teen digit percentages of applicable net sales.

In addition, the Company acquired the right to receive 33% of the future royalties on MK-4830, an immuno-oncology product, due to Agenus from Merck and 10% of all future developmental, regulatory and commercial milestones related to this asset. The future royalties due to Agenus from Merck are based on low single-digit percentage of applicable net sales. Pursuant to the Agenus RPA, the Company’s share in future potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones is up to $59.5 million. There is no limit on the amount of future royalties on sales that the Company may receive under the agreements.

Under the terms of the Agenus RPA, the Company paid Agenus an upfront payment of $15.0 million. At the inception of the agreement, the Company recorded $15.0 million as long-term royalty receivables in the consolidated balance sheets.

In November 2020, MK-4830 advanced into Phase 2 development, and Agenus earned a $10.0 million clinical development milestone payment under its license agreement with Merck, of which the Company earned $1.0 million. In accordance with the cost recovery method, the $1.0 million milestone payment received was recorded as a direct reduction of the recorded long-term royalty receivables balance.

As of June 30, 2024, no payments were probable to be received under the Agenus RPA in the near term. Under the cost recovery method, the Company does not expect to recognize any income related to milestone and royalty payments received until the purchase price has been fully collected. The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Based on updates received in July 2024, the Company will evaluate the status of partnered programs for potential impairment in the third quarter of 2024.

Aronora Royalty Purchase Agreement

On April 7, 2019, the Company entered into the Aronora RPA which closed on June 26, 2019. Under the Aronora RPA, the Company acquired the right to receive future royalties and a portion of upfront, milestone and option payments (the “Non-Royalties”) related to five anti-thrombotic hematology product candidates. Three candidates were subject to Aronora’s collaboration with Bayer (the “Bayer Products”), including one which was subject to an exclusive license option by Bayer. In July 2020, Bayer elected to not exercise its option on the third Bayer Product and that product is now subject to the same economic terms as the non-Bayer Products. The Company was eligible to receive 100% of future royalties and

10% of future Non-Royalties economics from these Bayer Products. The other two candidates are unpartnered (the “non-Bayer Products”) for which the Company will receive a low single-digit percentage of net sales and 10% of Non-Royalties. The future payment percentage for Non-Royalties will be reduced from 10% to 5% upon the Company’s receipt of two times the total cumulative amount of consideration paid by the Company to Aronora. On April 8, 2024, Bayer terminated its license agreement with Aronora.

Under the terms of the Aronora RPA, the Company paid Aronora a $6.0 million upfront payment at the close of the transaction. The Company financed $3.0 million of the upfront payment with a term loan under its Loan and Security Agreement with SVB. The Company was required to make a contingent future cash payment of $1.0 million for each of the three Bayer Products that were active on September 1, 2019 (up to a total of $3.0 million, the “Aronora Contingent Consideration”). Pursuant to the Aronora RPA, if the Company receives at least $25.0 million in cumulative royalties on net sales per product, the Company will be required to pay associated tiered milestone payments to Aronora in an aggregate amount of up to $85.0 million per product (the “Royalty Milestones”). The Royalty Milestones are paid based upon various royalty tiers prior to reaching $250.0 million in cumulative royalties on net sales per product. Royalties per product in excess of $250.0 million are retained by the Company.

At the inception of the agreement, the Company recorded $9.0 million as long-term royalty receivables in its consolidated balance sheet, including the estimated fair value of the Aronora Contingent Consideration of $3.0 million. In September 2019, the Company paid the $3.0 million contingent consideration to Aronora. As the Company receives royalties from Aronora for a product, the Company will recognize the liability for future Royalty Milestones for such product when probable and estimable.

As of June 30, 2024, no payments were probable to be received under the Aronora RPA. Based on communications in April 2024, the Company evaluated the status of the partnered programs for potential impairment in the second quarter of 2024 and recorded an impairment of $9.0 million under royalty purchase agreement asset impairment in its condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and an allowance for credit losses of $9.0 million, which consisted of a $9.0 million reduction of the net carrying value of long-term royalty receivables related to the Aronora RPA. As the impaired amount was not expected to be collected, the long-term royalty receivables were written off. There was no allowance for credit losses recorded as of December 31, 2023.

Palobiofarma Royalty Purchase Agreement

On September 26, 2019, the Company entered into the Palo RPA, pursuant to which the Company acquired the rights to potential royalty payments in low single-digit percentages of aggregate net sales associated with six product candidates in various clinical development stages, targeting the adenosine pathway with potential applications in solid tumors, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, asthma/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ulcerative colitis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, psoriasis and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and other indications that are being developed by Palo.

Under the terms of the Palo RPA, the Company paid Palo an upfront payment of $10.0 million payment at the close of the transaction, which occurred simultaneously upon parties’ entry into the Palo RPA on September 26, 2019. At the inception of the agreement, the Company recorded $10.0 million as long-term royalty receivables in its consolidated balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2024, no payments were probable to be received under the Palo RPA in the near term. Under the cost recovery method, the Company does not expect to recognize any income related to royalties received until the purchase price has been fully collected. The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Viracta Royalty Purchase Agreement

On March 22, 2021, the Company entered into the Viracta RPA, as amended March 4, 2024, pursuant to which the Company acquired the right to receive future royalties, milestone payments and other payments related to two clinical-stage drug candidates for an upfront payment of $13.5 million. The first candidate, DAY101 (a pan-RAF kinase inhibitor), is being developed by Day One, and the second candidate, vosaroxin (a topoisomerase II inhibitor), is being developed by

Denovo Biopharma LLC. The Company acquired the right to receive (i) up to $54.0 million in potential milestone payments, potential royalties on sales, if approved, and a portion of potential other payments related to DAY101, excluding up to $5.0 million retained by Viracta, and (ii) up to $57.0 million in potential regulatory and commercial milestones and high single-digit royalties on sales related to vosaroxin, if approved.

At the inception of the Viracta RPA, the Company recorded $13.5 million as long-term royalty receivables in its consolidated balance sheet.

On October 30, 2023, the Company earned a $5.0 million milestone payment pursuant to the Viracta RPA related to the FDA’s acceptance of Day One’s NDA for OJEMDA. In accordance with the cost recovery method, the $5.0 million milestone payment received was recorded as a direct reduction of the recorded long-term royalty receivables balance.

On April 23, 2024, Day One announced that the FDA granted approval to Day One’s NDA for OJEMDA. Pursuant to the Viracta RPA, the Company earned a $9.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval and is also eligible to receive mid-single-digit royalties on sales of OJEMDA. In accordance with the cost recovery method, $8.5 million of the milestone payment was recorded as a direct reduction of the remaining recorded long-term royalty receivables balance and the excess balance of $0.5 million was recorded as income from purchased receivables in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

On May 30, 2024, Day One announced that it sold its priority review voucher to an undisclosed buyer for $108.0 million. Pursuant to the Viracta RPA, the Company received a payment of $8.1 million related to the sale. The rights to proceeds upon the sale of the priority review voucher was determined to be an embedded derivative which had no value prior to FDA approval of OJEMDA. The Company recorded a change in the fair value of the embedded derivative of $8.1 million in other income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had fully collected the purchase price recorded in long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables related to the Viracta RPA in its consolidated balance sheet and, as such, it expects to record future royalties received as income from purchased receivables.

The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2023. As there was no remaining balance in long-term royalty and commercial payment receivables related to the Viracta RPA in its consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, the Company did not need to perform its periodic impairment assessment for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $0.4 million in trade and other receivables, net related to this arrangement. As of December 31, 2023, there was no trade and other receivables, net related to this arrangement. The Company recognized $0.9 million in income from purchased receivables related to this arrangement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company did not recognize any income related to this arrangement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Kuros Royalty Purchase Agreement

On July 14, 2021, the Company entered into the Kuros RPA, pursuant to which the Company acquired the rights to 100% of the potential future royalties from commercial sales, which are tiered from high single-digit to low double-digits, and up to $25.5 million in pre-commercial milestone payments associated with an existing license agreement related to Checkmate Pharmaceuticals’ vidutolimod (CMP-001), a Toll-like receptor 9 agonist, packaged in a virus-like particle, for an upfront payment of $7.0 million. The Company may pay up to an additional $142.5 million to Kuros in sales-based milestone payments.

At the inception of the Kuros RPA, the Company recorded $7.0 million as long-term royalty receivables in its consolidated balance sheet.

In May 2022, Regeneron completed its acquisition of Checkmate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. resulting in a $5.0 million milestone payment to Kuros. Pursuant to the Kuros RPA, the Company is entitled to 50% of the milestone payment, which was received by XOMA in July 2022. In accordance with the cost recovery method, the $2.5 million milestone received was recorded as a direct reduction of the recorded long-term royalty receivables balance.

As of June 30, 2024, no payments were probable to be received under the Kuros RPA in the near term. Under the cost recovery method, the Company does not expect to recognize any income related to royalties, milestone payments and other payments until the purchase price has been fully collected. The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Affitech Commercial Payment Purchase Agreement

On October 6, 2021, the Company entered into the Affitech CPPA, pursuant to which, the Company purchased a future stream of commercial payment rights to Roche’s faricimab from Affitech for an upfront payment of $6.0 million. The Company is eligible to receive 0.5% of future net sales of faricimab for a ten-year period following the first commercial sales in each applicable jurisdiction. Under the terms of the Affitech CPPA, the Company may pay up to an additional $20.0 million based on the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones. At the inception of the Affitech CPPA, the Company recorded $14.0 million as long-term royalty receivables which included the $6.0 million upfront payment and $8.0 million in regulatory milestone payments in its consolidated balance sheet. The Company concluded the regulatory milestone payments of $8.0 million met the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and should be accounted at fair value and recorded as a current liability at the inception of the transaction. Therefore, the regulatory milestone payments were recorded as contingent liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet. The Company concluded the sales-based milestone payments of up to $12.0 million do not meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and a liability will be recognized when probable and estimable.

In January 2022, Roche received approval from the FDA to commercialize VABYSMO (faricimab-svoa) for the treatment of wet, or neovascular, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema. In September 2022, Roche received approval from the European Commission to commercialize VABYSMO for the treatment of wet, or neovascular, age-related macular degeneration and visual impairment due to diabetic macular edema. Commercial payments are due from Roche to the Company within 60 days of December 31 and June 30 of each year.

Pursuant to the Affitech CPPA, the Company paid Affitech a $5.0 million milestone payment tied to the U.S. marketing approvals and a $3.0 million milestone payment tied to the EC approvals. The achievement of the first and second sales-based milestone payments under the Affitech CPPA was considered probable as of December 31, 2023, and as such the Company recognized a $6.0 million contingent liability in contingent consideration under RPAs, AAAs and CPPAs in its consolidated balance sheet. The sales milestones were achieved in 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024, the Company paid Affitech $6.0 million and the related contingent liability balance was reduced to zero in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

Based on reported first quarter of 2024 sales of VABYSMO, the achievement of the third sales-based milestone payment under the Affitech CPPA was considered probable as of March 31, 2024, and the Company recognized a $3.0 million contingent liability which remained on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

The Company may pay up to $3.0 million in an additional sales-based milestone payment upon the achievement of one remaining incremental sales milestone in the future.

Historically, the Company had been unable to reliably estimate its commercial payment stream from sales of future net sales and the commercial payments to be received under the Affitech CPPA. However, the recent sales data from the commercialization of VABYSMO has provided the Company with a greater ability to estimate future net sales and the commercial payments to be received under the Affitech CPPA. Therefore, as of April 1, 2024, the Company began accounting for the receivable which had a carrying amount of $7.8 million using the effective interest rate method on a prospective basis. As a result, the Company recognized $4.5 million in income from purchased receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company performed its impairment assessment and no allowance for credit losses was recorded as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
