With regard to the additional consideration received as a result of the Option, License and Collaboration agreement (14 July 2019) allocated to the filgotinib performance obligation, we assumed the existence of a significant financing component estimated to €44.5 million as of 31 December 2019 reflecting the time value of money on the estimated recognition period. This financing component was reassessed to €55.3 million as of 31 December 2020, and to €57.3 million on 31 December 2021.

A summary of our main contracts with customers is given below:

Collaboration with Gilead

We refer to note 2 of this financial report for a general description of our collaboration with Gilead.

We retain the following three performance obligations, of which the first one was satisfied completely in 2019; (i) the transfer of an extended license on GLPG1690, (ii) the granting of exclusive access to our drug discovery platform (i.e. the IP, technology, expertise and capabilities) during the collaboration period and exclusive option rights on our current and future clinical programs after Phase 2 (or, in certain circumstances, the first Phase 3 study) outside Europe and (iii) an increased cost share from 20/80 to 50/50 to 100/0 (for Group A activities only) on the global development activities of filgotinib, until we complete the remaining development activities (Group A and Group B activities).

We concluded as follows:

Determination of the total transaction price

  • We assessed that the contract modifications of 15 December 2020 and 6 September 2021 only change the scope of the filgotinib performance obligation and the changes in both fixed and variable consideration are reflective of the updated stand-alone selling price for the remaining activities of this performance obligation. As a result of these modifications, there were increases in the transaction price of €160.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively, which have been allocated in their entirety to the filgotinib performance obligation.

Financing component

  • Management has considered it is appropriate to adjust the part of the transaction price that was allocated to the filgotinib performance obligation, for the time value of money. The additional consideration as a result of the contract modification of 15 December 2020 has also been adjusted for the time value of money.

License on GLPG1690

  • This performance obligation is completely satisfied at 31 December 2019. Following the discontinuation of the ziritaxestat trials, we do not expect future milestone payments or royalties.
  • After granting the license for GLPG1690, we shared Phase 3 costs equally with Gilead. Any cost reimbursement from Gilead was not recognized as revenue but accounted as a decrease of the related expenses.

Filgotinib amendment

  • There is one single performance obligation under IFRS 15: the transfer of a license combined with performance of R&D activities. This is because we considered that the license is not distinct in the context of the contract.
  • The transaction price is currently composed of a fixed part, being non-refundable upfront and license fees and a variable part, being milestone payments, sales based milestones and sales based royalties, and cost reimbursements for R&D activities delivered. Milestone payments are included in the transaction price of the arrangement to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. Milestone payments received from Gilead are recognized in revenue over time till the end of the development plan. Sales based milestones and sales based royalties are also part of the arrangement and are recognized as revenues at a point in time at the moment they occur. During 2020 and 2021 we reported respectively €16.2 million and €3.8 million of revenues from royalties from Gilead.
  • Revenues, excluding sales based milestones and sales based royalties, are recognized over time through satisfaction of the performance obligation. The “cost-to-cost” input model is applied to measure the progress of the satisfaction of this performance obligation. The estimated costs to complete the performance obligation have been reassessed as a result of the contract modifications from 2020 and 2021.

Access rights to the drug discovery platform, option rights and R&D activities

  • The revenue allocated to the drug discovery platform is recognized over time as Gilead receives exclusive access to our drug discovery platform and option rights on our current and future pipeline as well as R&D activities during the collaboration term. Management concluded that an equal spread over the collaboration period is the most reliable and appropriate recognition method.
  • At inception of the collaboration (July 2019) we assessed the appropriate period over which to recognize the drug discovery platform revenue to be 10 years. This is because we granted exclusive rights over a 10-year period. However, if at the end of the 10-year period, some programs in existence as of this time would have reached the clinic (i.e. IND filed with regulatory authorities), the rights for those specific programs may be extended, for a maximum of three years. This critical estimate is reassessed at each year-end based on the evolution of our pipeline and is still valid per 31 December 2021.
