NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Overview
Biogen is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and delivering therapies to patients for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, hematologic conditions and autoimmune disorders.
Our marketed products include TECFIDERA, AVONEX, PLEGRIDY, TYSABRI and FAMPYRA for multiple sclerosis (MS), ELOCTATE for hemophilia A and ALPROLIX for hemophilia B and FUMADERM for the treatment of severe plaque psoriasis. We also have a collaboration agreement with Genentech, Inc. (Genentech), a wholly-owned member of the Roche Group, which entitles us to certain business and financial rights with respect to RITUXAN for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other conditions, GAZYVA indicated for the treatment of CLL and follicular lymphoma, and other potential anti-CD20 therapies.
In addition to our innovative drug development efforts, we aim to leverage our manufacturing capabilities and scientific expertise through Samsung Bioepis, our joint venture with Samsung BioLogics Co. Ltd. (Samsung Biologics) that develops, manufactures and markets biosimilars as well as through other strategic contract manufacturing partners. Under our commercial agreement with Samsung Bioepis, we market and sell BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL in the European Union (E.U.).
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (2015 Form 10-K). Our accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2015 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.
We operate as one operating segment, which is discovering, developing, manufacturing and delivering therapies to patients for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, hematologic conditions and autoimmune disorders.
Consolidation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial statements, those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and those of certain variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100% of the economics, we record net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of income equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of an entity, we apply a qualitative approach that determines whether we have both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. These considerations impact the way we account for our existing collaborative relationships and other arrangements. We continuously assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in us consolidating or deconsolidating one or more of our collaborators or partners.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis we evaluate our estimates, judgments and methodologies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity and the amount of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
New Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we do not believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements, including most industry-specific guidance. The new standard requires a company to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the company expects to receive for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delayed the effective date of the new standard from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations, which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. We are currently evaluating the method of adoption and the potential impact that Topic 606 may have on our financial position and results of operations.
During 2015, the FASB issued the following new standards, which we adopted on January 1, 2016:
| |
• | ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. |
| |
• | ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. |
| |
• | ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. |
The adoption of these standards did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations. For additional information related to these standards, please read Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: New Accounting Pronouncements to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new standard amends certain aspects of accounting and disclosure requirements of financial instruments, including the requirement that equity investments with readily determinable fair values be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in our results of operations. The new standard does not apply to investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values may be measured at fair value or at cost minus impairment adjusted for changes in observable prices. A financial liability that is measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value option is required to be presented separately in other comprehensive income for the portion of the total change in the fair value resulting from change in the instrument-specific credit risk. In addition, a valuation allowance should be evaluated on deferred tax assets related to available-for-sale debt securities in combination with other deferred tax assets. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

(unaudited)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires that all lessees recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its leasing arrangements. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a material impact on our financial position. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on our results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The new standard simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by removing the requirement to assess whether a contingent event is related to interest rates or credit risks. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting. The new standard eliminates the requirement that when an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence, an adjustment must be made to the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings retroactively on a step-by-step basis as if the equity method had been in effect during all previous periods that the investment had been held. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on our financial position, results of operations and statement of cash flows.
2. Restructuring
On October 21, 2015, we announced a corporate restructuring, which included the termination of certain pipeline programs and an 11% reduction in workforce. We anticipate making cash payments totaling approximately $120 million under this program, which includes approximately $15.9 million related to previously accrued 2015 incentive compensation, resulting in net expected restructuring charges totaling approximately $105 million. These amounts have been substantially incurred and will be substantially paid by the end of 2016.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized restructuring charges totaling $9.7 million, of which $1.4 million was related to our workforce reduction and $8.3 million was related to the pipeline program terminations. We previously recognized $93.4 million of restructuring charges in our consolidated statements of income during the fourth quarter of 2015. Our restructuring reserve is included in accrued expenses and other in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table summarizes the charges and spending related to our restructuring efforts during the first quarter of 2016:

Estimated Future Amortization of Intangible Assets
Our amortization expense is based on the economic consumption of intangible assets. Our most significant intangible assets are related to our AVONEX and TYSABRI products. Annually, during our long-range planning cycle, we perform an analysis of anticipated lifetime revenues of AVONEX and TYSABRI. This analysis is also updated whenever events or changes in circumstances would significantly affect the anticipated lifetime revenues of either product.
Our most recent long range planning cycle was completed in the third quarter of 2015. Based upon this analysis, the estimated future amortization of acquired intangible assets is expected to be as follows:

8. Derivative Instruments
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts - Hedging Instruments
Due to the global nature of our operations, portions of our revenues and operating expenses are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The value of revenues and operating expenses measured in U.S. dollars is therefore subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to mitigate these changes we use foreign currency forward contracts to lock in exchange rates associated with a portion of our forecasted international revenues and operating expenses.
Foreign currency forward contracts in effect as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 had durations of 1 to 21 months and 1 to 18 months, respectively. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and accordingly, to the extent effective, any unrealized gains or losses on these foreign currency forward contracts are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (referred to as AOCI in the tables below). Realized gains and losses for the effective portion of such contracts are recognized in revenue when the sale of product in the currency being hedged is recognized and, beginning in the fourth quarter 2015, in operating expenses when the expense in the currency being hedged is recorded. To the extent ineffective, hedge transaction gains and losses are reported in other income (expense), net.

We expect all contracts to be settled over the next 21 months and any amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reported as an adjustment to revenue or operating expense. We consider the impact of our and our counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the contracts as well as the ability of each party to execute its contractual obligations. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, credit risk did not change the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts.

Interest Rate Contracts - Hedging Instruments
We have entered into interest rate swap contracts on certain borrowing transactions to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.
In connection with the issuance of our 2.90% Senior Notes, we entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $675.0 million, which expire on September 15, 2020. The interest rate swap contracts are designated as hedges of the fair value changes in the 2.90% Senior Notes attributable to changes in interest rates. Since the specific terms and notional amount of the swaps match the debt being hedged, it is assumed to be a highly effective hedge and all changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded as a component of the 2.90% Senior Notes with no net impact recorded in income. Any net interest payments made or received on the interest rate swap contracts are recognized as a component of interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts - Other Derivatives
We also enter into other foreign currency forward contracts, usually with one month durations, to mitigate the foreign currency risk related to certain balance sheet positions. We have not elected hedge accounting for these transactions.
The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding foreign currency contracts was $680.8 million and $721.0 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. A net gain of $2.4 million related to these contracts was recognized as a component of other income (expense), net, for three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to a net loss of $9.7 million, in the prior year comparative period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)
In June 2015, our stockholders approved the Biogen Inc. 2015 ESPP (2015 ESPP). The 2015 ESPP, which became effective on July 1, 2015, replaced the Biogen Idec Inc. 1995 ESPP (1995 ESPP), which expired on June 30, 2015. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased under the 2015 ESPP is 6,200,000.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, approximately 65,000 shares were issued under our 2015 ESPP, compared to approximately 68,000 shares issued under our 1995 ESPP in the prior year comparative period.
14. Income Taxes
A reconciliation between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and our effective tax rate is summarized as follows:
|
| | | | | |
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2016 | | 2015 |
Statutory rate | 35.0 | % | | 35.0 | % |
State taxes | 1.0 |

| | 0.6 |
|
Other | 0.3 |
| | 0.1 |
|
Effective tax rate | 26.9 | % | | 25.6 | % |
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, our effective tax rate increased due to a state tax benefit in 2015, described below.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
We and our subsidiaries are routinely examined by various taxing authorities. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states, and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, including the proposed disallowance we discuss below, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination for years before 2013 or state, local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2004.
In March 2015, we received a final assessment from the Danish Tax Authority (SKAT) for 2009 regarding withholding taxes and the treatment of certain intercompany transactions involving our Danish affiliate and another of our affiliates. In April 2016, we received final assessments for 2011 and 2013 regarding withholding taxes for similar intercompany transactions. The total amount assessed for 2009, 2011 and 2013 is estimated to be $67.0 million, including interest. We are disputing the assessments for these periods, and believe that the positions we have taken are valid.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the net effect of adjustments to our uncertain tax positions was a net benefit of approximately $16.4 million primarily related to the state impact of a federal uncertain tax item.
It is reasonably possible that we will adjust the value of our uncertain tax positions related to our revenues from anti-CD20 therapeutic programs and certain transfer pricing issues as we receive additional information from various taxing authorities, including reaching settlements with the tax authorities. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other national tax authorities routinely examine our intercompany transfer pricing with respect to intellectual property related transactions and it is possible that they may disagree with one or more positions we have taken with respect to such valuations.
BIOGEN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, continued)
In October 2011, in conjunction with our examination, the IRS proposed a disallowance of approximately $130.0 million in deductions for tax years 2007, 2008 and 2009 related to payments for services provided by our wholly owned Danish subsidiary located in Hillerød, Denmark. We initiated a mutual agreement procedure between the IRS and SKAT for the years 2001 through 2009, to reach agreement on the issue. In addition, we applied for a bilateral advanced pricing agreement for the years 2010 through 2014 to resolve similar issues for the subsequent years. Over the past year, we have reached agreement with the tax authorities in the U.S. and Denmark regarding the tax treatment of these items for the years up to and including 2009. We have recorded the results of these agreements, which were not significant to our results.

Pricing of TYSABRI in Italy - AIFA
In the fourth quarter of 2011, Biogen Italia SRL, our Italian subsidiary, received a notice from the Italian National Medicines Agency (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco or AIFA) that sales of TYSABRI after mid-February 2009 exceeded a reimbursement limit established pursuant to a Price Determination Resolution (Price Resolution) granted by AIFA in December 2006. In January 2012, we filed an appeal in the Regional Administrative Tribunal of Lazio (Il Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale per il Lazio) in Rome, Italy seeking a ruling that the reimbursement limit in the Price Resolution should apply as written to only "the first 24 months" of TYSABRI sales, which ended in mid-February 2009. That appeal is still pending.

In June 2014, AIFA approved a resolution affirming that there is no reimbursement limit from and after February 2013. As a result, we recognized $53.5 million of TYSABRI revenues related to the periods beginning February 2013 that were previously deferred. AIFA and Biogen Italia SRL are still discussing a possible resolution for the period from February 2009 through January 2013. We have approximately EUR75 million recorded as accrued expenses and deferred revenue both included in our long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for this matter as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

16. Investments in Variable Interest Entities
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results of variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary.
Neurimmune SubOne AG
In 2007, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Neurimmune SubOne AG (Neurimmune), a subsidiary of Neurimmune AG, for the development and commercialization of antibodies for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Neurimmune conducts research to identify potential therapeutic antibodies and we are responsible for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of all products. Our anti-amyloid beta antibody, aducanumab, for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease resulted from this collaboration. Based upon our current development plans for aducanumab, we may pay Neurimmune up to $275.0 million in remaining milestone payments. We may also pay royalties in the low-to-mid-teens on sales of any resulting commercial products.
We determined that we are the primary beneficiary of Neurimmune because we have the power through the collaboration to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and are required to fund 100% of the research and development costs incurred in support of the collaboration agreement. Accordingly, we consolidate the results of Neurimmune.
We are required to reimburse Neurimmune for amounts that are incurred by Neurimmune for research and development expenses in support of the collaboration. Amounts reimbursed are reflected in research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, these amounts were immaterial. Future milestone payments and royalties, if any, will be reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income as a charge to noncontrolling interest, net of tax, when such milestones are achieved.
The assets and liabilities of Neurimmune are not significant to our financial position or results of operations as it is a research and development organization. We have provided no financing to Neurimmune other than previously contractually required amounts.
Other Variable Interest Entities
We also consolidate the financial results of our other variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary. We may pay these variable interest entities up to approximately $8.0 million in remaining milestone payments. We have provided no financing to these entities other than amounts provided for in the contract.
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities
We have relationships with other variable interest entities that we do not consolidate as we lack the power to direct the activities that significantly impact the economic success of these entities. These relationships include investments in certain biotechnology companies and research collaboration agreements. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the total carrying value of our investments in biotechnology companies totaled $38.8 million and $29.2 million, respectively. Our maximum exposure to loss related to these variable interest entities is limited to the carrying value of our investments.

We have also entered into research collaboration agreements with certain variable interest entities where we are required to fund certain development activities.

17. Collaborative and Other Relationships
Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB
In January 2007, we acquired 100% of the stock of Syntonix. Syntonix had previously entered into a collaboration agreement with Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi) to jointly develop and commercialize Factor VIII and Factor IX hemophilia products, including ELOCTATE and ALPROLIX. We have commercial rights for North America (the Biogen North America Territory) and for rest of the world markets outside of the Sobi Territory, as defined below, (the Biogen Direct Territory). Subject to the exercise of an option right that Sobi controls, Sobi will have commercial rights in, essentially, Europe, North Africa, Russia and certain countries in the Middle East (the Sobi Territory). The collaboration agreement was amended and restated in April 2014. For additional information on our collaboration agreement with Sobi, please read Note 19, Collaborative and Other Relationships to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K.
ELOCTA, the trade name for ELOCATE in the E.U., was approved by the EC in November 2015 and Sobi had its first commercial sale in January 2016. In March 2016, the EC approved the transfer of the marketing authorization for ELOCTA to Sobi, making Sobi the marketing authorization holder of ELOCTA in the E.U. As the marketing authorization holder, Sobi assumes full legal responsibility for ELOCTA, from a regulatory perspective, during its entire life cycle in the E.U. As of March 31, 2016, approximately $165.0 million in expenditures for ELOCTA, net of an escrow payment and other royalty adjustments as described in footnote (3) to the table below, are reimbursable by Sobi under our collaboration agreement due to Sobi's election to assume final development and commercialization of ELOCTA in the Sobi Territory, which is the Opt-In Consideration for ELOCTA. This reimbursement will be recognized in proportion to collaboration revenues, over a ten year period, consistent with the initial patent term of the product.
In February 2016, we and Sobi received a positive recommendation from the European Medicine Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) for the marketing authorization of ALPROLIX. The CHMP's recommendation was referred to the EC, which grants marketing authorizations for medicines in the E.U. If approved by the EC, upon the first commercial sale of ALPROLIX by Sobi in the Sobi Territory, approximately $135.0 million in expenditures for ALPROLIX, net of an escrow payment and other royalty adjustments as described in footnote (3) to the table below, will become reimbursable by Sobi under our collaboration agreement due to Sobi's election to assume final development and commercialization of ALPROLIX in the Sobi Territory, which is the Opt-In Consideration for ALPROLIX. This reimbursement will be recognized in proportion to collaboration revenues, over a ten year period, consistent with the initial patent term of the product. If EC approval for ALPROLIX is not granted within 18 months of the filing date, Sobi shall have the right under the collaboration agreement to require that the escrow payment be refunded and revoke its option right for such product.

We expect to recognize the effect of the cash reimbursement as an adjustment to the Base Rate in the table below over a ten year period, consistent with the initial patent term of the products. Under the collaboration agreement, cash payments are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | Rates post Sobi Opt-In(3) |
Royalty and Net Revenue Share Rates: | Method | | Rate prior to 1st commercial sale in the Sobi Territory: | | Base Rate following 1st commercial sale in the Sobi Territory: | | Rate during the Reimbursement Period: |
Sobi rate to Biogen on net sales in the Sobi Territory | Royalty | | N/A | | 12% | | Base Rate plus 5% |
Biogen rate to Sobi on net sales in the Biogen North America Territory | Royalty | | 2% | | 12% | | Base Rate less 5% |
Biogen rate to Sobi on net sales in the Biogen Direct Territory | Royalty | | 2% | | 17% | | Base Rate less 5% |
Biogen rate to Sobi on net revenue(1) from the Biogen Distributor Territory(2) | Net Revenue Share | | 10% | | 50% | | Base Rate less 15% |
| |
(1) | Net revenue represents Biogen’s pre-tax receipts from third-party distributors, less expenses incurred by Biogen in the conduct of commercialization activities supporting the distributor activities. |
| |
(2) | The Biogen Distributor Territory represents Biogen territories where sales are derived utilizing a third-party distributor. |
| |
(3) | A credit will be issued to Sobi against its reimbursement of the Opt-in Consideration in an amount equal to the difference in the rate paid by Biogen to Sobi on sales in the Biogen territories for certain periods prior to the first commercial sale in the Sobi Territory versus the rate that otherwise would have been payable on such sales. |
If the reimbursement of the Opt-in Consideration has not been achieved within six years of the first commercial sale of such product, we maintain the right to require Sobi to pay any remaining balances due to us within 90 days of the six year anniversary date of the first commercial sale.
Should Sobi terminate the collaboration agreement with respect to ALPROLIX, we will obtain full worldwide development and commercialization rights and we will be obligated to pay royalties to Sobi subject to separate terms, as defined in the collaboration agreement.
Samsung Bioepis
Joint Venture Agreement
In February 2012, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Samsung BioLogics Co. Ltd. (Samsung Biologics), establishing an entity, Samsung Bioepis, to develop, manufacture and market biosimilar pharmaceuticals. Samsung Biologics contributed 280.5 billion South Korean won (approximately $250.0 million) for an 85% stake in Samsung Bioepis and we contributed approximately 49.5 billion South Korean won (approximately $45.0 million) for the remaining 15% ownership interest. Under the joint venture agreement, we have no obligation to provide any additional funding and our ownership interest may be diluted due to financings in which we do not participate. As of March 31, 2016, our ownership interest is approximately 9%, which reflects the effect of additional equity financings in which we did not participate. We maintain an option to purchase additional stock in Samsung Bioepis that would allow us to increase our ownership percentage up to 49.9%. The exercise of this option is within our control and is based on paying for 49.9% of the total investment made by Samsung Biologics into Samsung Bioepis in excess of what we have already contributed under the agreement plus a rate that will represent their return on capital.
Based on our level of influence over Samsung Bioepis, we account for this investment under the equity method of accounting and we recognize our share of the results of operations related to our investment in Samsung Bioepis one quarter in arrears when the results of the entity become available, which is reflected as equity in loss of investee, net of tax in our condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a loss on our investment of $0.8 million. During 2015, as our share of losses exceeded the carrying value of our investment, we suspended recognizing additional losses and will continue to do so unless we commit to providing additional funding.

Commercial Agreement
In December 2013, pursuant to our rights under the joint venture agreement with Samsung Biologics, we entered into an agreement with Samsung Bioepis to commercialize, over a 10-year term, three anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biosimilar product candidates in Europe and in the case of one anti-TNF biosimilar, Japan. Under the terms of this agreement, we have made total upfront and milestone payments of $46.0 million, which have been recorded as a research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income as the programs they relate to had not achieved regulatory approval. We also agreed to make an additional milestone payment of $25.0 million upon regulatory approval in the E.U. for each of the three anti-TNF biosimilar product candidates. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we made the first $25.0 million milestone payment, which has been capitalized in intangible assets, net in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as BENEPALI received regulatory approval in the E.U. in January 2016.
We began to recognize revenue on sales of BENEPALI in the E.U. in the first quarter of 2016. We reflect revenues on sales of BENEPALI to third parties in product revenues, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income and record the related cost of revenues and sales and marketing expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of income to their respective line items when these costs are incurred. Our 50% share of the Samsung Bioepis commercial agreement will be recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
Other Services
Simultaneous with the formation of Samsung Bioepis, we also entered into a license agreement, a technical development services agreement and a manufacturing agreement with Samsung Bioepis. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized $2.7 million in relation to these services as other revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of income, as compared to $18.9 million in the prior year comparative period.

Loss Contingencies
Forward Pharma German Patent Litigation
On November 18, 2014, Forward Pharma A/S (Forward Pharma) filed suit against us in the Regional Court of Dusseldorf, Germany alleging that TECFIDERA infringes German Utility Model DE 20 2005 022 112 U1 (the utility model), which was issued in April 2014 and expired in October 2015. Forward Pharma subsequently extended its allegations to assert that TECFIDERA infringes Forward Pharma's European Patent No. 2 801 355, which was issued in May 2015 and expires in October 2025 (the '355 patent). Forward Pharma seeks declarations of infringement and damages for our sales of TECFIDERA in Germany. Under German law, disgorgement of profits on infringing sales is a measure of damages. With respect to the '355 patent, the hearing has been stayed pending the outcome of

opposition proceedings that we and others have filed in the European Patent Office, and with respect to the utility model the hearing has been stayed pending the outcome of those proceedings and proceedings in the German Patent Office.
ALPROLIX Patent Licensing Matter
We are in discussions with Pfizer regarding its proposal that we take a license to its U.S. Patent No. 8,603,777 (Expression of Factor VII and IX Activities in Mammalian Cells) and pay royalties on sales of ALPROLIX. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.
Italian National Medicines Agency
In the fourth quarter of 2011, Biogen Italia SRL received notice from the Italian National Medicines Agency (Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco or AIFA) that sales of TYSABRI after mid-February 2009 exceeded a reimbursement limit established pursuant to a Price Determination Resolution (Price Resolution) granted by AIFA in December 2006. On January 12, 2012, we filed an appeal in the Regional Administrative Tribunal of Lazio (Il Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale per il Lazio) in Rome, Italy seeking a ruling that the reimbursement limit in the Price Resolution should apply as written to only “the first 24 months” of TYSABRI sales, which ended in mid-February 2009. The appeal is still pending. In June 2014, AIFA approved a resolution affirming that there is no reimbursement limit from and after February 2013. AIFA and Biogen Italia SRL are discussing a possible resolution for the period from February 2009 through January 2013.
For additional information regarding this matter, please read Note 15, Other Consolidated Financial Statement Detail to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Qui Tam Litigation
On July 6, 2015, four qui tam actions filed against us by relators suing on behalf of the United States and certain states were unsealed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. All but one of the actions has been voluntarily dismissed. The pending action alleges sales and promotional activities in violation of the federal False Claims Act and state law counterparts, and seeks single and treble damages, civil penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. The United States has not made an intervention decision in the action, which we have moved to dismiss. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.
Securities Litigation
We and certain current and former officers are defendants in In re Biogen Inc. Securities Litigation, filed by a shareholder on August 18, 2015 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The amended complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws under 15 U.S.C. §78j(b) and §78t(a) and 17 C.F.R. §240.10b-5. The lead plaintiff seeks a declaration of the action as a class action, certification as a representative of the class and its counsel as class counsel, and an award of damages, interest, and attorneys' fees. We have filed a motion to dismiss, which is pending. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.
Other Matters
Interference Proceeding with Forward Pharma
In April 2015, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) declared an interference between Forward Pharma’s pending U.S. Patent Application No. 11/576,871 and our U.S. Patent No. 8,399,514 (the '514 patent).

European Patent Office Oppositions
On March 10, 2016, the European Patent Office revoked our European patent number 2 137 537 (the '537 patent), which includes claims covering the treatment of multiple sclerosis with 480 mg of dimethyl fumarate as provided for in our TECFIDERA label. The decision was issued verbally and will be followed by a written decision, from which intend to appeal.
Patent Revocation Matter
In December 2015, Swiss Pharma International AG brought an action in the Patents Court of the United Kingdom to revoke the UK counterpart of our European Patent Number 1 485 127 (“Administration of agents to treat inflammation”) (the '127 patent), which was issued in June 2011 and concerns administration of natalizumab (TYSABRI) to treat multiple sclerosis. The patent expires in February 2023. Subsequently, the same entity brought actions in the District Court of The Hague (on January 11, 2016) and the German Patents Court (on March 3, 2016) to invalidate the Dutch and German counterparts of the '127 patent. A hearing has been scheduled in the UK action for late 2016 and in the Dutch action for early 2017. No hearing has yet been scheduled in the German action.
'755 Patent Litigation
On May 28, 2010, Biogen MA Inc. (formerly Biogen Idec MA Inc.) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging infringement by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Bayer) (manufacturer, marketer and seller of BETASERON and manufacturer of EXTAVIA), EMD Serono, Inc. (manufacturer, marketer and seller of REBIF), Pfizer Inc. (co-marketer of REBIF), and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. (marketer and seller of EXTAVIA) of our U.S. Patent No. 7,588,755 ('755 Patent), which claims the use of interferon beta for immunomodulation or treating a viral condition, viral disease, cancers or tumors. The complaint seeks monetary damages, including lost profits and royalties. Bayer had previously filed a complaint against us in the same court, on May 27, 2010, seeking a declaratory judgment that it does not infringe the '755 Patent and that the patent is invalid, and seeking monetary relief in the form of attorneys' fees, costs and expenses. The court has consolidated the two lawsuits, and we refer to the two actions as the “Consolidated '755 Patent Actions.”
Bayer, Pfizer, Novartis and EMD Serono have all filed counterclaims in the Consolidated '755 Patent Actions seeking declaratory judgments of patent invalidity and non-infringement, and seeking monetary relief in the form of costs and attorneys' fees, and EMD Serono and Bayer have each filed a counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that the '755 Patent is unenforceable based on alleged inequitable conduct. Bayer has also amended its complaint to seek such a declaration. No trial date has been set.
Government Matters
We have learned that state and federal governmental authorities are investigating our sales and promotional practices and have received related subpoenas. We are cooperating with the government.
On March 4, 2016 we received a subpoena from the federal government for documents relating to our relationship with non-profit organizations that provide assistance to patients taking drugs sold by Biogen. We are cooperating with the government.
Product Liability and Other Legal Proceedings
We are also involved in product liability claims and other legal proceedings generally incidental to our normal business activities. While the outcome of any of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of any of these existing matters would have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

19. Commitments and Contingencies
Fumapharm AG
In 2006, we acquired Fumapharm AG. As part of this acquisition we acquired FUMADERM and TECFIDERA (together, Fumapharm Products). We paid $220.0 million upon closing of the transaction and agreed to pay an additional $15.0 million if a Fumapharm Product was approved for MS in the U.S. or E.U. In the second quarter of 2013, we paid this $15.0 million contingent payment as TECFIDERA was approved in the U.S. for MS by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We are also required to make additional contingent payments to former shareholders of Fumapharm AG or holders of their rights based on the attainment of certain cumulative sales levels of Fumapharm Products and the level of total net sales of Fumapharm Products in the prior twelve month period.
In the first quarter of 2016, we paid $300.0 million in contingent payments as we reached the $7.0 billion cumulative sales level related to the Fumapharm Products in the fourth quarter of 2015 and accrued $300.0 million upon reaching $8.0 billion in total cumulative sales of Fumapharm Products during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
We will owe an additional $300.0 million contingent payment for every additional $1.0 billion in cumulative sales level of Fumapharm Products reached if the prior 12 months sales of the Fumapharm Products exceed $3.0 billion, until such time as the cumulative sales level reaches $20.0 billion, at which time no further contingent payments shall be due. These payments will be accounted for as an increase to goodwill as incurred, in accordance with the accounting standard applicable to business combinations when we acquired Fumapharm. Any portion of the payment which is tax deductible will be recorded as a reduction to goodwill. Payments are due within 60 days following the end of the quarter in which the applicable cumulative sales level has been reached.
Solothurn, Switzerland Facility
On December 1, 2015, we purchased land in Solothurn, Switzerland where we are building a biologics manufacturing facility over the next several years. As of March 31, 2016, we had contractual commitments of approximately $180.0 million for the construction of this facility.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes beginning on page 5 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (2015 Form 10-K). Certain totals may not sum due to rounding.
Executive Summary
Introduction
Biogen is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and delivering therapies to patients for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, hematologic conditions and autoimmune disorders.
Our marketed products include TECFIDERA, AVONEX, PLEGRIDY, TYSABRI and FAMPYRA for multiple sclerosis (MS), ELOCTATE for hemophilia A and ALPROLIX for hemophilia B and FUMADERM for the treatment of severe plaque psoriasis. We also have a collaboration agreement with Genentech, Inc. (Genentech), a wholly-owned member of the Roche Group, which entitles us to certain business and financial rights with respect to RITUXAN for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and other conditions, GAZYVA indicated for the treatment of CLL and follicular lymphoma, and other potential anti-CD20 therapies.
Our current revenues depend upon continued sales of our principal products. We may be substantially dependent on sales from our principal products for many years, including a continuing reliance on sales and growth of TECFIDERA as we continue to expand into additional markets. In the longer term, our revenue growth will be dependent upon the successful clinical development, regulatory approval and launch of new commercial products as well as additional indications for our existing products, our ability to obtain and maintain patents and other rights related to our marketed products and assets originating from our research and development efforts, and successful execution of external business development opportunities. As part of our ongoing research and development efforts, we have devoted significant resources to conducting clinical studies to advance the development of new pharmaceutical products in disease areas for which there are inadequate treatments and to explore the utility of our existing products in treating disorders beyond those currently approved in their labels.
In addition to our innovative drug development efforts, we aim to leverage our manufacturing capabilities and scientific expertise through Samsung Bioepis, our joint venture with Samsung BioLogics Co. Ltd. (Samsung Biologics) that develops, manufactures and markets biosimilars as well as through other strategic contract manufacturing partners. Under our commercial agreement with Samsung Bioepis, we market and sell BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL in the European Union (E.U.).
Financial Highlights
Diluted earnings per share attributable to Biogen Inc. were $4.43 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, representing an increase of 26.9% over the same period in 2015.
Our income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 reflects the following:
| |
• | Total revenues totaled $2,726.8 million for the first quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 6.7% over the same period in 2015. |
| |
• | Product revenues, net totaled $2,309.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 6.3% over the same period in 2015. This increase was driven by a 14.7% increase in worldwide TECFIDERA revenues as well as revenues from ELOCTATE, ALPROLIX and BENEPALI, |
partially offset by an 11.1% decrease in worldwide Interferon revenues. In addition, product revenues, net for the first quarter of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, were negatively impacted by foreign currency exchange rate changes totaling $24.0 million as well as a $26.2 million decrease in gains recognized under our hedging program in the comparative periods.
| |
• | Revenues from anti-CD20 therapeutic programs totaled $329.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 0.3% over the same period in 2015. |
| |
• | Other revenues totaled $87.9 million for the first quarter of 2016, representing an increase of 69.0% from the same period in 2015. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in other corporate revenue. |
| |
• | Total cost and expenses totaled $1,348.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, representing a decrease of 6.2% compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease was driven by a 11.3% decrease in selling, general and administrative expense, a 7.4% decrease in the amortization of acquired intangible assets and a 5.0% decrease in research and development expense, partially offset by the recognition of a $9.7 million charge related to our corporate restructuring. |
We generated $963.4 million of net cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, which were primarily driven by earnings. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $6,775.2 million as of March 31, 2016.
Business Environment
The biopharmaceutical industry and the markets in which we operate are intensely competitive. Many of our competitors are working to develop or have commercialized products similar to those we market or are developing. In addition, the commercialization of certain of our own approved MS products, products of our collaborators and pipeline product candidates may negatively impact future sales of our existing MS products. Our products may also face increased competitive pressures from the introduction of generic versions, prodrugs of existing therapeutics or biosimilars of existing products and other technologies, such as gene therapies.
In addition, sales of our products are dependent, in large part, on the availability and extent of coverage, pricing and reimbursement from government health administration authorities, private
health insurers and other organizations. Pricing of pharmaceutical products continues to be under intense scrutiny.
For additional information related to our competition and pricing risks that could negatively impact our products, please read the “Risk Factors” section of this report.
Key Pipeline and Product Developments
Hemophilia
In February 2016, we and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi) received a positive recommendation from the European Medicine Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) for the marketing authorization of ALPROLIX for the treatment of hemophilia B. The CHMP's recommendation was referred to the European Commission (EC), which grants approval of marketing authorizations for medicines in the E.U.
In March 2016, the EC approved the transfer of the marketing authorization for ELOCTA to Sobi, making Sobi the marketing authorization holder of ELOCTA in the E.U. As the marketing authorization holder, Sobi assumes full legal responsibility for ELOCTA, from a regulatory perspective, during its entire life cycle in the E.U.
Biosimilars
In January 2016, the EC approved Samsung Bioepis' marketing authorization application (MAA) for BENEPALI for marketing in the E.U. Under our agreement with Samsung Bioepis, we will manufacture and commercialize BENEPALI in specified E.U. countries.
In April 2016, Samsung Bioepis received a positive recommendation from the CHMP for the marketing authorization of FLIXABI, an infliximab biosimilar referencing REMICADE. The CHMP's recommendation was referred to the EC.
GAZYVA
In February 2016, the Roche Group announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved GAZYVA plus bendamustine chemotherapy followed by GAZYVA alone as a new treatment for people with follicular lymphoma who did not respond to a RITUXAN-containing regimen, or whose follicular lymphoma returned after such treatment. Follicular lymphoma is the most common type of indolent non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
