Total revenues decreased by €29.8 million, or 43%, to €39.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2015, from €69.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014. This decrease was mainly driven by lower recognition of non-refundable upfront payments and reduced milestone payments, as explained below.
Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments related to the deferred recognition of upfront payments received under the agreements with AbbVie, amounting to €111.6 million in 2012 and €49.6 million in 2013, which were amortized over a period ranging from 21 to 42 months, based on the estimated period of our involvement.
Milestone revenues and costs reimbursements decreased by €12.1 million, or 61%, to €7.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 compared to €19.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014. This decrease was primarily related to fewer milestones achieved in 2015 compared to 2014 as a result of the increasing proprietary nature of our pipeline programs. For the year ended 31 December 2015 €2.2 million and €1.2 million of costs were reimbursed in relation with respectively the CF and Filgotinib Collaboration Agreement with AbbVie, and €3.8 million of milestones related to partnered programs with Servier were recognized. For the year ended 31 December 2014 €8.3 million of milestones were recognized in relation with the CF Collaboration Agreement with AbbVie and €11.5 million of milestones primarily related to partnered programs with Janssen Pharmaceutica, Servier and GSK.
Other revenues increased by €1.7 million, or 46%, to €5.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 compared to €3.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, principally due to higher revenues from fee-for-service activities.

Total other income was composed of grant income and other income and increased by €0.4 million, or 2%, from €20.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to €21.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Grant income decreased by €2.6 million, or 45%, from €5.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to €3.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2015. The majority of this grant income was related to grants from a Flemish agency, representing approximately 94% of all reported grant income in both years. In many cases these carry clauses which require us to maintain a presence in the same region for a number of years and invest according to pre-agreed budgets.
The decrease in grant income was compensated by an increase in other income of €2.9 million, or 19%, from €15.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to €17.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2015. Other income was primarily composed of:
- Income from an innovation incentive system of the French government, which represented €8.7 million of other income for the year ended 31 December 2015 compared to €7.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014
- Income from Belgian R&D incentives with regard to incurred R&D expenses, which represented €5.3 million of other income for the year ended 31 December 2015 compared to €4.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2014
- Tax rebates on payroll withholding taxes of R&D personnel in Belgium and The Netherlands, representing €3.0 million of other income for the year ended 31 December 2015 compared to €2.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014
