New accounting policies as a result of recent transactions

Product net sales

Product net sales is the net amount of revenue recognized resulting from transferring control over our products (Jyseleca) to our customer (for example wholesalers, pharmacies and hospitals). Product sales revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the goods has transferred to the customer. This is generally when the goods are delivered to the customer depending on the specific incoterms in the contract with a customer.

The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation taking into account variable consideration. The estimated amount of variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration that is included in the transaction price is primarily composed of rebates, cash discounts and chargebacks granted to various customers that are part of commercial and governmental contractual arrangements or other reimbursement programs. A liability is recognized for expected rebates, cash discounts, chargebacks or other reimbursements payable directly or indirectly to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The amount of variable consideration is estimated using several elements such as third-party market data, product pricing and the specific terms in the individual agreements. Net sales are presented net of value added tax and other sales related taxes.

The related cost of sales are recorded on a separate line in our consolidated income statement.
