1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Overview
Biogen is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and delivering therapies to people living with serious neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.
Our marketed products include TECFIDERA, AVONEX, PLEGRIDY, TYSABRI, ZINBRYTA and FAMPYRA for multiple sclerosis (MS), SPINRAZA for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and FUMADERM for the treatment of severe plaque psoriasis. We also have 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, OCREVUS indicated for the treatment of primary progressive MS and relapsing MS, and other potential anti-CD20 therapies under a collaboration agreement with Genentech, Inc., a wholly-owned member of the Roche Group.
We support our drug discovery and development efforts through the commitment of significant resources to discovery, research and development programs and business development opportunities, particularly within areas of our scientific, manufacturing and technical capabilities. We intend to invest in the future across our core growth areas of MS and neuroimmunology, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia, Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, and neuromuscular diseases including SMA and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Further, we see opportunities to invest in emerging growth areas such as pain, ophthalmology, neuropsychiatry and acute neurology. In addition, we are employing innovative technologies to discover potential treatments for rare and genetic disorders, including new ways of treating diseases through gene therapy.
Our innovative drug development and commercialization activities are complemented by our biosimilar therapies that expand access to medicines and reduce the cost burden for healthcare systems. We are leveraging our manufacturing capabilities and know-how to develop, manufacture and market biosimilars through Samsung Bioepis, our joint venture with Samsung BioLogics Co. Ltd. (Samsung Biologics). Under our commercial agreement, we market and sell BENEPALI, an etanercept biosimilar referencing ENBREL, and FLIXABI, an infliximab biosimilar referencing REMICADE, in the European Union (E.U.).
Hemophilia Spin-Off
On February 1, 2017, we completed the spin-off of our hemophilia business, Bioverativ Inc. (Bioverativ), as an independent, publicly traded company. Our consolidated results of operations and financial position included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial results of our hemophilia business for all periods through January 31, 2017.
For additional information related to the spin-off of our hemophilia business, please read Note 3, Hemophilia Spin-Off, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
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, 2016 (2016 Form 10-K). Our accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our 2016 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017 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, focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and delivering therapies to people living with serious neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.

(unaudited, continued)

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 ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, judgments and methodologies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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.
We adopted the following new standards effective January 1, 2017:
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments;
ASU No. 2016-07, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting; and
ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.
The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or statement of cash flows; however, the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09 resulted in the reclassification of certain prior year amounts in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to our current year presentation. Specifically, amounts previously disclosed in net cash flows used in financing activities related to our excess tax benefit from share-based compensation have been reclassified to net cash flows provided by operating activities and amounts related to cash paid when withholding shares for tax withholding purposes, previously disclosed in net cash flows provided by operating activities, have been reclassified to net cash flows used in financing activities.
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 2016 Form 10-K.
In May 2014 the FASB issued 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. The FASB has subsequently issued amendments to ASU No. 2014-09 that have the same effective date and transition date of

January 1, 2018. We expect to adopt these standards using the modified retrospective method. We have performed a review of the new standards as compared to our current accounting policies and our review of customer contracts and collaborative relationships remains in process. As of September 30, 2017, we have not identified any accounting changes that would materially impact the amount of reported revenues with respect to our product revenues and revenues from anti-CD20 therapeutic programs. During the fourth quarter of 2017 we plan to finalize our assessments over the impact that these standards may have on our results of operations, financial position and disclosures.
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 a company's 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. Based on our current investment holdings, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations; however, it will result in the reclassification of certain investments.
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 their balance sheet and disclose qualitative and quantitative information about their leasing arrangements. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on our results of operations, financial position and disclosures. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our net financial position, but may materially impact the reported amount of total assets and total liabilities.
In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Under the new standard, entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income are to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. An allowance for credit losses will be a valuation account that will be deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard clarifies certain aspects of the statement of cash flows, including the classification of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees and beneficial interests in securitization transactions. The new standard also clarifies that an entity should determine each separately identifiable source or use within the cash receipts and cash payments on the basis of the nature of the underlying cash flows. In situations in which cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows and cannot be separated by source or use, the appropriate classification should depend on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item. 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 statements of cash flows upon adoption.
In October 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other Than Inventory. The new standard eliminates the deferral of the tax effects of intra-entity transfers of an asset other than inventory. Under the new standard, entities should recognize the income tax consequences on an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018. We expect to adopt this standard using the modified retrospective method applied through a

cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this standard is expected to have a material impact on our net financial position; however, the final effect of the adoption of this standard will depend on the nature and amount of future transactions.
In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018; however, we have adopted this standard as of January 1, 2017, with prospective application to any business development transaction.
In January 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test of Goodwill Impairment. The new standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in ASU No. 2017-04, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds that reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2020; however, early adoption is permitted. We intend to early adopt this standard as of October 31, 2017, during our annual review of goodwill. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The new standard will require that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost. The new standard also provides explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allow only the service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. The other components of the net periodic benefit cost must be presented separately from the line items that include service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income on the condensed consolidated statements of income. 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.
In March 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The new standard amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium by shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on our financial position and results of operations.
In May 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The new standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2018; however, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In August 2017 the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The new standard provides guidance to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The new standard expands and refines hedge accounting for both non-financial and financial risk components and aligns the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. The new standard will be effective for us on January 1, 2019; however, early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

2.    Acquisitions
On May 15, 2017, we completed an asset purchase of the Phase 3 candidate, CIRARA (now known as BIIB093), from Remedy Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Remedy). The target indication for BIIB093 is large hemispheric infarction (LHI), a severe form of ischemic stroke where brain swelling (cerebral edema) often leads to a disproportionately large share of stroke-related morbidity and mortality. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently granted BIIB093 Orphan Drug designation for severe cerebral edema in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The FDA has also granted BIIB093 Fast Track designation. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we will have responsibility for the future development and commercialization of BIIB093 and have agreed to pay Remedy certain development and sales based milestone payments, which are substantially payable upon or after regulatory approval, as well as royalties on future commercial sales. Remedy will share in the cost of development for the target indication for BIIB093 in LHI stroke.
We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition as we did not acquire any employees from Remedy nor did we acquire any significant processes required in the development of BIIB093. Upon closing of the transaction, we made a $120.0 million upfront payment, which was recorded as acquired in-process research and development in our condensed consolidated statements of income as BIIB093 has not yet reached technological feasibility.
3.    Hemophilia Spin-Off
On February 1, 2017, we completed the spin-off of our hemophilia business, Bioverativ, as an independent, publicly traded company trading under the symbol "BIVV" on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The spin-off was accomplished through the distribution of all the then outstanding shares of common stock of Bioverativ to Biogen shareholders, who received one share of Bioverativ common stock for every two shares of Biogen common stock they owned. The separation and distribution was structured to be tax-free for shareholders for federal income tax purposes. Bioverativ assumed all of our rights and obligations under our collaboration agreement with Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB and our collaboration and license agreement with Sangamo Biosciences Inc.
In connection with the distribution, Biogen and Bioverativ entered into a separation agreement and various other agreements (including a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement, a manufacturing and supply agreement, an employee matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement and certain other commercial agreements). These agreements govern the separation and distribution and the relationship between the two companies going forward. They also provide for the performance of services by each company for the benefit of the other for a period of time. In addition, under the terms of the separation agreement, Bioverativ is obligated to indemnify us for liabilities that may exist relating to its business activities, whether incurred prior to or after the distribution, including any pending or future litigation.
The services under these agreements generally commenced on February 1, 2017 (the distribution date), and are expected to terminate within 12 months of the distribution date, with the exception of the manufacturing and supply agreement, which has an initial term of five years, with a five year extension at Bioverativ's sole discretion and a further five year extension with Bioverativ's and our consent.

In connection with the distribution we made a net cash contribution to Bioverativ, during the first quarter of 2017, totaling $302.7 million. The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities that were charged against equity as a result of the spin-off of our hemophilia business:

Under the manufacturing and supply agreement, we manufacture and supply certain products and materials to Bioverativ. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $5.0 million and $12.1 million, respectively, in revenues in relation to these services, which is reflected as a component of other revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We also recorded $4.5 million and $11.1 million as cost of sales in relation to these services during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of our agreements with Bioverativ, upon completion of the spin-off, we distributed ALPROLIX and ELOCTATE on behalf of Bioverativ until Bioverativ obtained appropriate regulatory authorizations in certain countries, including a Biologics License Application transfer in the United States (U.S.), which was received in September 2017. Accordingly, commencing October 2017, we ceased distribution of ALPROLIX and ELOCTATE on behalf of Bioverativ under this arrangement. Under this arrangement, we distributed these products as an agent of Bioverativ and also provided related cash management services in connection with sales transactions, including the collection of receivables and the remittance of applicable discounts and allowances. Our consolidated financial position and results of operations did not reflect recognition of activity or balances related to these transactions.
Amounts earned under the non-manufacturing and supply related transaction service agreements are recorded as a reduction of costs and expenses in their respective expense line items, primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses, in our condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, these amounts were not significant.
Hemophilia related product revenues reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, totaled $74.4 million, as compared to $217.0 million and $604.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, only reflect hemophilia-related product revenues through January 31, 2017.
Patents
Prior to the spin-off of our hemophilia business, we were awarded various methods of treatment and composition of matter patents related to ELOCTATE and ALPROLIX. Upon completion of the spin-off, these patents were transferred to the patent portfolio of Bioverativ.

For additional information relating to the spin-off of our hemophilia business, please read Note 3, Hemophilia Spin-Off, to these condensed consolidated financial statements. In-process research and development balances include adjustments related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, amortization of acquired intangible assets totaled $108.9 million and $674.9 million, respectively, as compared to $99.7 million and $281.4 million, respectively, in the prior year comparative periods. Amortization of acquired intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, includes $30.4 million and $413.4 million, respectively, of amortization and impairment charges related to our U.S. and rest of world licenses to Forward Pharma A/S' (Forward Pharma) intellectual property related to TECFIDERA, as further discussed below.
Developed Technology
Developed technology primarily relates to our AVONEX product, which was recorded in connection with the merger of Biogen, Inc. and IDEC Pharmaceuticals Corporation in 2003. The net book value of this asset as of September 30, 2017, was $322.5 million.
Acquired and In-licensed Rights and Patents
Acquired and in-licensed rights and patents primarily relate to our acquisition of all remaining rights to TYSABRI from Elan Corporation plc. The net book value of this asset as of September 30, 2017, was $2,293.9 million. The increase in acquired and in-licensed rights and patents during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflects the $50.0 million and $40.0 million milestone payments due to Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which became payable upon the approval of SPINRAZA for the treatment of SMA in the E.U. and Japan, respectively, the $25.0 million milestone payment due to Samsung Bioepis, which became payable upon the approval of IMRALDI, an adalimumab biosimilar referencing HUMIRA, in the E.U. and net amounts related to our TECFIDERA license rights, as described below.
TECFIDERA License Rights
In January 2017 we entered into a settlement and license agreement among Biogen Swiss Manufacturing GmbH, Biogen International Holding Ltd., Forward Pharma and certain related parties, which was effective as of February 1, 2017. Pursuant to the agreement, we obtained U.S. and rest of world licenses to Forward Pharma's intellectual property, including Forward Pharma's intellectual property related to TECFIDERA. In exchange, we agreed to pay Forward Pharma $1.25 billion in cash. During the fourth quarter of 2016, we recognized a pre-tax charge of

16

Table of Contents
BIOGEN INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, continued)

$454.8 million related to this agreement, representing the fair value of our license to Forward Pharma’s intellectual property for the period April 2014, when we started selling TECFIDERA, through December 31, 2016. For additional information related to this agreement, please read Note 21, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.
We paid the $1.25 billion in February 2017 and recognized an intangible asset of $795.2 million. The asset represented the fair value of the U.S. and rest of world licenses to Forward Pharma’s intellectual property related to TECFIDERA revenues for the period January 2017, the month in which we entered into this agreement, through December 2020, the last month before royalty payments could first commence pursuant to this agreement.
We have two intellectual property disputes with Forward Pharma, one in the U.S. and one in the E.U., concerning intellectual property related to TECFIDERA. In March 2017 the U.S. intellectual property dispute was decided in our favor. Forward Pharma has appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the appeal is pending. For additional information related to these disputes, please read Note 19, Litigation, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
As we prevailed in the U.S. proceeding in March 2017, we evaluated the recoverability of the U.S. asset acquired from Forward Pharma and recorded an impairment charge to adjust the carrying value of the acquired U.S. asset to fair value reflecting the impact of the developments in the U.S. legal dispute. We also continue to amortize the remaining net book value of the U.S. and rest of world intangible assets in our condensed consolidated statements of income utilizing an economic consumption model.
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 TECFIDERA, AVONEX and TYSABRI products. Annually, during our long-range planning cycle, we perform an analysis of anticipated lifetime revenues of TECFIDERA, AVONEX and TYSABRI. This analysis is also updated whenever we determine 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 2017.
Based upon the above, the estimated future amortization of acquired intangible assets is expected to be as follows:

The elimination of goodwill represents an allocation based upon the relative enterprise fair value of the hemophilia business as of the distribution date. For additional information relating to the spin-off of our hemophilia business, please read Note 3, Hemophilia Spin-Off, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
The increase in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, was related to $900.0 million in contingent milestones achieved (exclusive of $137.6 million in tax benefits) and payable to the former shareholders of Fumapharm AG or holders of their rights. Other includes changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For additional information related to future contingent payments to the former shareholders of Fumapharm AG or holders of their rights, please read Note 21, Commitments and Contingencies, to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2017, we had no accumulated impairment losses related to goodwill.

There have been no material impairments of our assets measured and carried at fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. In addition, there were no changes in valuation techniques or inputs utilized or transfers between fair value measurement levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The fair values of Level 2 instruments classified as cash equivalents and marketable debt securities were determined through third party pricing services. For a description of our validation procedures related to prices provided by third party pricing services, please read Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: Fair Value Measurements, to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

9.    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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 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.
The notional value of foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted revenues and operating expenses is summarized as follows:

The portion of the fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts that was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total equity reflected net losses of $113.0 million and net gains of $49.8 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We expect all contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2017, to be settled over the next 21 months with 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 due September 15, 2020, 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 due September 15, 2020 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 our 2.90% Senior Notes due September 15, 2020 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 durations of one month or less, 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 $366.2 million and $902.1 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Net gains of $1.2 million and $5.7 million related to these contracts were recognized as a component of other income (expense), net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to net losses of $0.4 million and $16.6 million, respectively, in the prior year comparative periods.
Summary of Derivatives
While certain of our derivatives are subject to netting arrangements with our counterparties, we do not offset derivative assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

10.    Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Accumulated depreciation on property, plant and equipment was $1,580.6 million and $1,439.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Solothurn, Switzerland Facility
During the first quarter of 2016 we purchased land in Solothurn, Switzerland for 64.4 million Swiss Francs (approximately $62.5 million), where we are building a biologics manufacturing facility. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had $968.8 million and $481.5 million, respectively, capitalized as construction in progress related to the construction of this facility. As of September 30, 2017, we had contractual commitments of approximately $235.0 million for the construction of this facility.
11.    Equity
Total equity as of September 30, 2017, increased $720.3 million compared to December 31, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by net income attributable to Biogen Inc. of $2.8 billion, partially offset by share repurchases totaling approximately $1.4 billion, as described below, and an adjustment to retained earnings of $852.8 million reflecting the spin-off of our hemophilia business, as described in Note 3, Hemophilia Spin-Off, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Share Repurchases
In July 2016 our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $5.0 billion of our common stock. This authorization does not have an expiration date. All share repurchases under this authorization will be retired. Under this program, we repurchased and retired 3.7 million shares of common stock at a cost of $1.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this program during the three months ended September 30, 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we repurchased and retired 1.1 million shares of common stock at a cost of $348.9 million. As of September 30, 2017, approximately $3.0 billion remains available to repurchase shares under this authorization.
In February 2011 our Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 20.0 million shares of common stock, which was completed as of March 31, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased 1.3 million shares of common stock at a cost of $365.4 million under this program. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.
