NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of MacroGenics, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the management of the Company believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MacroGenics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, MacroGenics West, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2014.
There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Companys 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair market values of the financial instruments included in the financial statements, which include cash equivalents and money market accounts, approximate their carrying values at March 31, 2014 due to their short-term maturities. The Company accounts for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The ASC 820 hierarchy ranks the quality of reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| Level 1 Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
| Level 2 Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3 Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by a reporting entity e.g., determining an appropriate adjustment to a discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security. |
The Company evaluates financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them each reporting period. This determination requires the Company to make subjective judgments as to the significance of inputs used in determining fair value and where such inputs lie within the ASC 820 hierarchy.

3. Lease Exit Liability
On July 16, 2008, the Company acquired Raven Biotechnologies, Inc. (Raven), a private South San Francisco-based company focused on the development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics for treating cancer. Raven was considered a development-stage enterprise as defined in ASC 915, Development Stage Entities. In connection with the acquisition, the Company issued 12,466,039 shares of its Series D convertible preferred stock (which was converted to common stock in connection with the Companys initial public offering (IPO)) in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock and convertible notes payable of Raven.
The Company undertook restructuring activities related to the acquisition of Raven. These restructuring activities included reductions in staffing levels and the intended exit of leased facilities. All severance-related payments were completed in the year ended December 31, 2009.
In connection with these restructuring activities, as part of the cost of acquisitions, the Company established a restructuring liability attributed to an existing operating lease. The terms of the operating lease extend through 2018.
Changes in the lease exit liability are as follows:
Accrual balance at December 31, 2013 |
$ | 9,445,170 | ||
Principal payments |
(347,792 | ) | ||

$ | 9,097,378 | ||
|
|
The purchase agreement provides for a specified total of certain contingent milestones that are based on the achievement of certain product sales derived from the acquired Raven technology. Also, a onetime payment of $5.0 million will be made to the Raven stockholders upon the initiation of patient dosing in the first Phase 2 clinical trial of any product derived from the Raven Cancer Stem Cell Program. No payment shall be made if the Phase 2 trial start date has not occurred on or before July 15, 2018. Other consideration includes a percentage of revenue (excluding consideration for research and development and equity) received by MacroGenics for license of a product derived from the Raven Cancer Stem Cell Program and a onetime payment ranging from $8.0 million to $12.0 million dependent upon a specified level of sales of products derived from the Raven Cancer Stem Cell Program.
8
The contingent consideration will be accounted for as additional purchase price and recorded as incremental in-process research and development expense when and if it is deemed probable that the contingencies will be attained. No additional amounts have been recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
4. Collaboration and License Agreements
Les Laboratoires Servier
In November 2011, the Company entered into a right-to-develop collaboration agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier and Institut de Recherches Servier (collectively, Servier) for the development and commercialization of MGA271 in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India.
Upon execution of the agreement, Servier made a nonrefundable payment of $20.0 million to the Company. The Company is eligible to receive up to $30.0 million in license grant fees, $47.0 million in clinical milestone payments, $140.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and $208.0 million in sales milestone payments if Servier exercises the option, obtains regulatory approval for and successfully commercializes MGA271. The Company concluded that the license grant fees are not deliverables at the inception of the arrangement. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. In the event Servier exercises its option to continue development of MGA271, Servier must pay a license grant fee. Under this agreement, Servier would be obligated to pay the Company from low double digit to mid-teen royalties on product sales in its territories.
The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Servier and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company concluded that the option is substantive and that the license fees for this option is not a deliverable at the inception of the arrangement as there is considerable uncertainty that the option would be exercised and the additional fee to be paid upon exercise of the option represents its estimated selling price (i.e. no substantial discount was given). The Companys substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusivity clause to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan during the first year of the agreement and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that these performance obligations represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Companys technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the initial upfront payment was deferred and was being recognized ratably over the initial 27-month period, which represented the expected period of development and the Companys participation on the research and development committee. The Company further concluded that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. In January 2014, the Company determined that the development period will last longer than originally estimated, and prospectively adjusted its period of recognition of the upfront payment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized revenue of $0.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, under this agreement.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $0.6 million and $0.9 million of revenue remained deferred under this agreement, respectively, all of which was included in current liabilities.
In September 2012, the Company entered into a second right-to-develop collaboration agreement with Servier and granted it options to obtain three separate exclusive licenses to develop and commercialize DART-based molecules, consisting of those designated by the Company as MGD006 and MGD007, as well as a third DART molecule, in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India.
9
Upon execution of the agreement, Servier made a nonrefundable payment of $20.0 million to the Company. In addition, the Company became eligible to receive up to $65.0 million in license grant fees, $98.0 million in clinical milestone payments, including $5.0 million upon IND acceptance for each of MGD006, MGD007 and a third DART molecule, $300.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and $630.0 million in sales milestone payments if Servier exercises all of the options and successfully develops, obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes a product under each license. Through March 31, 2014, the Company has received an additional $15.0 million in license grant fees and a $5.0 million milestone payment. In addition to these payments, the Company and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Under this agreement, Servier would be obligated to pay the Company between high-single digit and mid-teen royalties on net product sales in its territories.
The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Servier and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company concluded that each option is substantive and that the license fees for each option are not deliverables at the inception of the arrangement and were not issued with a substantial discount. The Companys substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusivity clause to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan during the first year of the agreement and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the pre-clinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Companys technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the initial up front license payment was deferred and is being recognized ratably over the initial 29-month period, which represents the expected development period. The Company further concluded that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Servier exercised its exclusive option to develop and commercialize MGD006. As a result of the exercise, the Company received a $15.0 million payment from Servier for its license to develop and commercialize MGD006 in its territories. Upon exercise of the option, the Company evaluated its performance obligations with respect to the license for MGD006. The Companys substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusive license to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the clinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Companys technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the $15.0 million license fee was deferred and is being recognized ratably over a period of 82 months, which represents the expected development period for MGD006. In accordance with the agreement, the Company and Servier will share costs incurred to develop MGD006. Reimbursement of research and development expenses received in connection with this collaborative cost-sharing agreement is recorded as a reduction to research and development expense. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded approximately $82,000 as an offset to research and development costs under this collaboration arrangement, and has recorded a corresponding collaboration receivable, which is included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company recognized revenue of $7.4 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, under this agreement. Revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes the $5.0 million payment from Servier upon the achievement of a clinical milestone related to the IND application for MGD006 clearing the 30-day review period by the FDA. No milestones were recognized under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
At March 31, 2014, $22.1 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $9.5 million of which was included in current liabilities and $12.6 million of which was included in long-term liabilities. At December 31, 2013, $9.4 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $8.6 million of which was included in current liabilities and $0.8 million of which was included in long-term liabilities.
10
Gilead Sciences, Inc.
In January 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead) for the research, development and commercialization of up to four DART-based molecules. The time period for Gileads exercise of one option has expired. At present, Gilead retains a license to one and options to two of the original four programs. Gilead has exclusive worldwide rights for each of these remaining programs.
The Company received an initial $7.5 million license grant fee for the first DART-based molecule, and is eligible to receive additional license grant fees of $7.5 million on each of the remaining two DART-based molecules if they are selected by Gilead. The Company is further eligible to receive up to an additional $20 to $25 million in pre-clinical milestones across each of the three remaining DART programs and up to approximately $240 to $250 million per remaining program in additional clinical, regulatory and sales milestones if Gilead exercises both remaining options and achieves all of the requisite milestones under each option and license. The Company has determined that the other licenses are conditional deliverables, which are substantive options that were not granted with a substantial discount. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Gilead also provides funding for the Companys internal and external research costs under the agreement. Additionally, Gilead would be obligated to pay the Company high single digit to low double digit, but less than teen royalties on product sales.
The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Gilead and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Companys substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include a license to its technology and research and development services. The Company concluded that the deliverables do not have stand alone value and therefore, represent a combined single unit of accounting. Due to the lack of standalone value for the license and research and development services, the combined unit of accounting (the upfront payment and the expected research and development reimbursements) is being recognized ratably over a period of 21 months, which represents the expected development period.
The Company and Gilead have also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable. Had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement.
The Company recognized revenues of approximately $2.2 million and $1.7 million under this agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No milestones have been achieved under this agreement.
At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $2.4 million and $3.6 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, respectively, all of which was included in current liabilities.
Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH
In October 2010 the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH (Boehringer) to discover, develop and commercialize up to ten DART-based molecules which span multiple therapeutic areas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company granted Boehringer an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, license under its intellectual property to research, develop, and market DARTs generated under the agreement throughout the world.
Upon execution of the agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $15.0 million. The Company subsequently received three annual maintenance payments including one in the fourth quarter of 2013. These maintenance payments are being recognized over the estimated period of development. The Company has the potential to earn milestone payments of approximately $41.0 million related to pre-clinical and clinical development, $89.0 million related to regulatory milestones and $83.0 million related to sales milestones for each of the DART programs under this agreement in the case of full commercial success of multiple DART products. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still
11
recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Boehringer also provides funding for the Companys internal and external research costs and is required to pay the Company mid-single digit royalties on product sales. In addition, Boehringer purchased $10.0 million of the Companys Series D-2 Preferred Stock in January 2011. This preferred stock was converted to common stock upon the Companys IPO in October 2013.
The Company determined that the deliverables under the Boehringer agreement include the license, the research and development services to be performed by the Company, and the co-promotion/manufacturing services. The Company concluded that the co-promotional activities were optional and were subject to further negotiation upon reaching regulatory approval. As such, the co-promotional period is not included in the expected obligation period to perform services.
The Company concluded that the undelivered element of research and development services had fair value. The Company concluded that the license does not have value on a standalone basis (e.g. absent the provision of the research and development services) and therefore does not represent a separate unit of accounting. The Company concluded that because the drug candidate has not yet been developed, the license is of no value to Boehringer without the ensuing research and development activities using the DART technology, which is proprietary to the Company. Likewise, Boehringer could not sell the license to another party (without the Company agreeing to provide the research and development activities for the other party).
Therefore, the upfront license fee and research and development services were treated as a combined unit of account and recognized over the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services through September 2015, which represents the estimated period of development.
The Company and Boehringer have also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable. However, had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement as the period of participation in this committee matched the obligation period for the research and development services.
The Company recognized revenues of approximately $3.1 million and $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2014, $11.0 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $7.0 million of which was included in current liabilities and $4.0 million of which was included in long-term liabilities. At December 31, 2013, $12.8 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $7.0 million of which was included in current liabilities and $5.8 million of which was included in long-term liabilities.
Pfizer, Inc.
In October 2010, the Company entered into a three year agreement with Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer) to discover, develop and commercialize up to two DART-based molecules. The Company granted Pfizer a non-exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license and received an upfront payment of $5.0 million and has received milestone payments and funding for the Companys internal and external research costs under the agreement.
The Company is eligible to receive milestone payments of approximately $17.0 million related to pre-clinical and clinical development and $195.0 million related to commercialization and sales milestones for each DART program under this agreement. The Company has determined that each potential future technical and development milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Pfizer is responsible for all pre-clinical and clinical development costs for the program. In addition, Pfizer is required to pay the Company mid-single digit to low-teen royalties on product sales. Under this collaboration, one DART program is currently being pursued and the Company completed its research obligations under this program in January 2014.
The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Pfizer and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Companys substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusive license to its
12
technology, research and development services and manufacturing services. The Company concluded that the manufacturing services were optional and were subject to further negotiation upon reaching regulatory approval. As such, the manufacturing services are not included in the expected obligation period to perform services.
The Company determined that it had fair value of the undelivered element of the research and development services. However, the Company concluded that the license does not have value on a standalone basis (e.g. absent the provision of the research and development services) and therefore does not represent a separate unit of accounting. Facts that were considered included the development of the candidate noting that because the drug candidate has not yet been developed, the license is of no value to Pfizer without the ensuing research and development activities using the DART technology, which is proprietary to the Company. Likewise, Pfizer could not sell the license to another party (without the Company agreeing to provide the research and development activities for the other party).
Therefore, the upfront license fee and research and development services were treated as a combined unit of accounting and recognized over the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services through January 2014, which represented the estimated period of development.
The $5.0 million upfront payment received by the Company is non-refundable; therefore, there is no right of return for the license. The Company recognized revenue associated with this non-refundable up-front license fee through the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services, which ended in January 2014.
The Company and Pfizer have also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable because it is a participating right and not an obligation of the Company. However, had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement.
The Company recognized revenues of approximately $0.2 million and $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
At March 31, 2014, there was no remaining deferred revenue under this agreement. At December 31, 2013, $7,291 of revenue was deferred under this agreement, all of which was included in current liabilities.
Green Cross Corporation
In June 2010, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Green Cross Corp. (Green Cross) for the development of the Companys anti-HER2 antibody margetuximab. This arrangement grants Green Cross an exclusive license to conduct specified Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials and commercialize margetuximab in South Korea. In March 2014, the Company and Green Cross entered into an amendment to the original agreement, causing the terms of the original agreement to be materially modified.
Upon execution of the amendment, the Company is eligible to receive reimbursement for costs incurred for Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials up to $5.5 million as well as clinical development and commercial milestone payments of up to $2.5 million. The Company has determined that each potential clinical development and commercial milestone is substantive. The Company is also entitled to receive royalties on net sales of margetuximab in South Korea. The Company and Green Cross have formed a joint steering committee to coordinate and oversee activities on which the companies collaborate under the agreement.
The Company has evaluated the collaboration agreement with Green Cross and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables or performance obligations. As a result of the material modification to the arrangement in March 2014, the Company must reassess the entire arrangement in accordance with the guidance provided by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements (Revenue Recognition) as the original agreement was accounted for prior to adopting Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-13 Revenue Recognition Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. The Companys substantive performance obligations under this agreement include an exclusive license to its technologies, research and development services, and participation in a joint steering committee. The Company concluded that the license and the reimbursements for research and development services do not have value on a standalone basis and therefore do not represent a separate unit of accounting.
13
The initial $1.0 million upfront payment received by the Company upon execution of the original agreement is non-refundable; as such, there is no right of return for the license. Therefore, the upfront license fee and participation on the joint steering committee were treated as a combined unit of accounting and will be recognized over the term of the agreement through June 2020. Further, due to the fact the research and development services are not deemed to have stand-alone value, revenue for those services should be recognized over the entire term of the agreement (through June 2020). As a result of reassessing the arrangement in accordance with ASC 605-25, the Company was required to record an adjustment on the date of the material modification to reflect the revenue that would have resulted had the entity applied the requirements of ASC 605-25 from the inception of the agreement. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $1.3 million of revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 2014.
The Company recognized revenues of approximately $1.4 million and $25,000 under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No milestones were achieved under this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
At March 31, 2014, $625,000 of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $100,000 of which was included in current liabilities and $525,000 of which was included in long-term liabilities. At December 31, 2013, $650,000 of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $100,000 of which was included in current liabilities and $550,000 of which was included in long-term liabilities.
5. Stock-Based Compensation
The Companys 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (2000 Plan) allowed for the grant of awards in respect of an aggregate of 150,297 shares, of the Companys common stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units and other performance awards. The 2000 Plan has expired, and no further awards may be issued under the plan. Any shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2000 Plan that expire, terminate, or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased without having been fully exercised, or resulting in any common stock being issued, will become available for issuance under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (2013 Plan) up to a specified number of shares.
Effective February 2003, the Company implemented the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (2003 Plan), and it was amended and approved by the Companys stockholders in 2005. The 2003 Plan allowed for the grant of awards in respect of an aggregate of 4,336,731. Stock options granted under the 2003 Plan may be either incentive stock options as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), or non-qualified stock options. In October 2013 the 2003 Plan was terminated, and no further awards may be issued under the plan. Any shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2003 Plan that expire, terminate, or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased without having been fully exercised, or resulting in any common stock being issued, will become available for issuance under the 2013 Plan, up to a specified number of shares.
In October 2013, the Company implemented the 2013 Plan. The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards, as well as cash-based performance awards. The aggregate number of shares of common stock initially available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2013 Plan was 1,960,168 shares. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year from January 1, 2014 through and including January 1, 2023, by the lesser of (a) 1,960,168 shares, (b) 4.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or (c) the number of shares of common stock determined by the Board of Directors. All of the shares available for issuance under the 2013 Plan are eligible for issuance pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options. If an option expires or terminates for any reason without having been fully exercised, if any shares of restricted stock are forfeited, or if any award terminates, expires or is settled without all or a portion of the shares of common stock covered by the award being issued, such shares are available for the grant of additional awards. However, any shares that are withheld (or delivered) to pay withholding taxes or to pay the exercise price of an option are not available for the grant of additional awards.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the assumptions in the following table:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||
2014 | 2013 | |||
Expected dividend yield |
0% | 0% | ||
Expected volatility |
66.7% - 66.9% | 50.9% | ||

2.1% - 2.3% | 1.2% | ||
Expected term |
6 - 6.25 years | 7 years | ||
Expected forfeiture rate |
5% | 5% |
Expected Dividend Yield The Company has never declared or paid dividends and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
Expected Volatility Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as a share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. As the Company does not yet have sufficient history of its own volatility, the Company has identified several public entities of similar size, complexity and stage of development and calculates historical volatility using the volatility of these companies.
Risk-Free Interest Rate This is the U.S. Treasury rate for the week of each option grant during the year, having a term that most closely resembles the expected life of the option.
Expected Term This is the period of time that the options granted are expected to remain unexercised. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. The Company estimates the expected life of the option term to be approximately 6.25 years. The Company uses a simplified method to calculate the average expected term.
Expected Forfeiture Rate The forfeiture rate is the estimated percentage of options granted that is expected to be forfeited or canceled on an annual basis before becoming fully vested. The Company estimates the forfeiture rate based on turnover data with further consideration given to the class of the employees to whom the options were granted.
Equity instruments issued to non-employees are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of the equity instrument is recorded on the earlier of the performance commitment date or the date the services required are completed.

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $23.13. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $2.5 million, and the total cash received for these exercises was $68,061. The total fair value of shares vested in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $192,166. As of March 31, 2014 the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options, net of related forfeiture estimates, was $7.6 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately four years.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
The Company leases office and laboratory space in Rockville, Maryland under a lease that expires on March 31, 2018, and leases a manufacturing facility in Rockville under a lease that originally expired on December 31, 2014. The Company has an option under each lease to continue the respective lease for five years under the same terms. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company extended the manufacturing facility lease until December 31, 2019. The Company also entered into a new four year lease for additional space in the manufacturing facility effective April 1, 2014. This lease also has an option to continue the lease for five years under the same terms. The Company also subleases office and laboratory space in South San Francisco under a lease that expires on December 31, 2018. All of the leases contain rent escalation clauses. For financial reporting purposes, rent expense is charged to operations on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Contingencies
From time to time, the Company may be subject to various litigation and related matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes it is not currently subject to any material matters where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.
7. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the Companys stock option grants and the if-converted method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the Companys preferred stock.
Prior to the Companys initial public offering, net income (loss) per share was calculated under the two-class method under which all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. In the event that the Board of Directors declared a dividend payable in cash or other property on the then-outstanding shares of common stock, the holders of the Series A-1, A-2, B, C, D, and D-2 convertible preferred stock would be entitled to receive the amount of dividends per share of preferred stock that would be payable on the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock could then be converted. Therefore, the Series A-1, A-2, B, C, D and D-2 are participating securities. All of the outstanding shares of Series A-1, A-2, B, C, D, and D-2 convertible preferred stock converted to common stock upon the consummation of the Companys IPO.
Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share is computed as follows:

In October 2013, the Company issued 5,750,000 shares of common stock in connection with its IPO and 16,955,790 shares of common stock in connection with the automatic conversion of its convertible
17
preferred stock upon the closing of the IPO. In February 2014, the Company issued 2,250,000 share of common stock in a follow-on offering. The issuance of these shares resulted in a significant increase in the Companys weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the comparable prior year period and is expected to continue to impact the year-over-year comparability of the Companys income (loss) per share calculations for the remainder of 2014.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (GAAP), for interim periods and with Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as well as in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Overview
We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. We generate our pipeline of product candidates from our proprietary suite of next-generation antibody technology platforms which we believe improve the performance of monoclonal antibodies and antibody-derived molecules. These product candidates, which we have identified through our understanding of disease biology and immune-mediated mechanisms, may address disease-specific challenges, which are not currently being met by existing therapies. The combination of our technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed us to generate promising product candidates and enter into several strategic collaborations with global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. These collaborations provide us with funding and allow us to leverage the additional expertise of our collaborators to advance the development of our product candidates.
We currently have two oncology product candidates in clinical development. Additionally, we have several proprietary product candidates in pre-clinical development and we expect to commence Phase 1 clinical trials on two of these product candidates in 2014. In addition, we intend to advance two pre-clinical Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART)-based oncology product candidates to Investigational New Drug (IND) submission and commence Phase 1 clinical trials in 2015.
| Margetuximab is an Fc-optimized monoclonal antibody that targets HER2-expressing tumors, including breast, gastroesophageal and other cancers. HER2, or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, is critical for the growth of many types of tumors. We are currently enrolling a Phase 2a clinical trial in metastatic breast cancer and plan to commence a Phase 3 potential registration clinical trial in advanced gastroesophageal cancer in the second half of 2014. |
| MGA271 is an Fc-optimized monoclonal antibody that targets B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of molecules and is over-expressed on a wide variety of solid tumor types. We expect to complete the first three dose expansion cohorts of a Phase 1 clinical trial by the end of 2014. We plan to initiate additional expansion cohorts using MGA271 as monotherapy in other tumor types in the second half of 2014, as well as combining MGA271 with other therapies for certain tumor types in 2015. |
| MGD006 is a humanized DART molecule that recognizes CD123, the Interleukin-3 receptor (IL3R) alpha chain which is expressed on leukemia and leukemic stem cells, but not on normal hematopoietic stem cells, and CD3, which is expressed on T cells. We expect to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial in the second quarter of 2014. |
| MGD007 is a humanized DART molecule that recognizes both the glycoprotein gpA33, expressed on gastrointestinal tumors, including more than 95% of human colon cancers, and CD3, which is expressed on T cells. We expect to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial in the second half of 2014. |
We commenced active operations in 2000, and have since devoted substantially all of our resources to staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, developing our technology platforms, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking pre-clinical studies and conducting clinical trials. We have not generated any revenues from the sale of any products to date. We have financed our operations primarily through the private placements of convertible preferred stock, the public offerings of our common stock, collaborations, and government grants and contracts. From inception through March 31, 2014, we received $151.3 million from the sale of convertible preferred stock and warrants. We raised $85.6 million ($83.8

million net of expenses and deferred financing costs) in October 2013 through the sale of common stock in connection with our Initial Public Offering (IPO) and exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. We raised an additional $77.2 million ($76.7 million net of expenses and deferred financing costs) through a follow-on public offering of our common stock and full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in February 2014. In addition, we have received $219.0 million of upfront, milestone and annual maintenance payments from our collaborators and have been reimbursed $222.4 million through our collaborations and government grants and contracts. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, based upon our current operating plan, we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014, combined with the collaboration payments we anticipate receiving, will enable us to fund the clinical development of margetuximab, MGA271, MGD006, MGD007, MGD010 and two additional pre-clinical DART-based oncology product candidates into 2017, assuming all of our collaboration programs advance as currently contemplated.
Through March 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $178.8 million. We expect that over the next several years we will increase our expenditures in research and development in connection with our ongoing activities with several clinical trials.
Strategic Collaborations and Licenses
We have entered into several strategic collaborations which provide us with significant additional funding in order to continue development of our pipeline and to extend our technology platforms and on-going programs. Our collaborations have allowed us to speed up the progress of our on-going pre-clinical and clinical stage programs.
| Servier. In November 2011, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Servier under which we granted Servier an option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize MGA271 in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. We received a $20.0 million option grant fee and a $10.0 million milestone payment, and may be eligible to receive up to approximately $415.0 million in license grant fees, and clinical, development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. In the event Servier exercises its option, Servier must pay a license grant fee, which we estimate to be $30.0 million, based on the number of different indications represented within the planned Phase 1 patient population. We and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs. |
In September 2012, we entered into a second agreement with Servier and granted it options to obtain three separate exclusive licenses to develop and commercialize DART-based molecules, consisting of those designated by us as MGD006 and MGD007, as well as a third DART molecule, in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. We received a $20.0 million option grant fee. In addition, we became eligible to receive up to approximately $1 billion in additional license grant fees, and clinical, development, regulatory and sales milestone payments if Servier exercises all three of its options and successfully develops, obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes a product under each license, including $5.0 million upon IND acceptance for each of MGD006, MGD007 and a third DART molecule. In addition to these milestone payments, we and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs.
In February 2014, Servier exercised its option to develop and commercialize MGD006, for which we received a $15.0 million license grant fee. We also received a $5.0 million milestone payment from Servier in connection with the IND application for MGD006 clearing the 30-day review period by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Additionally, under both agreements, Servier would be obligated to pay us low double digit to mid-teen royalties on product sales in its territories.
| Gilead. In January 2013, we entered into an agreement with Gilead for the research, development and commercialization of up to four DART-based molecules. The time period for Gileads exercise of one option has expired. At present, Gilead retains a license to one and options to two of the original four programs. Gilead has exclusive worldwide rights for each of these remaining programs. We received an initial $7.5 million license grant fee for the first DART-based molecule, |
20
and are eligible to receive $7.5 million in grant fees on each of the remaining two DART-based molecules if they are selected by Gilead. We are further eligible to receive up to an additional $20 to $25 million in pre-clinical milestones across each of the three remaining DART programs and up to approximately $240 to $250 million per remaining program in additional clinical, regulatory and sales milestone payments if Gilead exercises both remaining options and achieves all of the requisite milestones under each option and license. Gilead also provides funding for our internal and external research costs under the agreement. We are also eligible to receive tiered royalties on the net sales at percentages ranging from the high-single digits to the low double digits, but less than teens, subject to reductions in specified circumstances. |
| Boehringer. In October 2010, we entered into an agreement with Boehringer to discover, develop and commercialize up to ten DART-based molecules which may span multiple therapeutic areas. We granted Boehringer an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license and received an upfront payment of $15.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Boehringer nominated a bi-specific antibody therapeutic candidate generated by our DART technology for pre-clinical development. This formal selection of a development candidate triggered a $5.0 million milestone payment to us under the agreement. We have received three annual maintenance payments, including a $4.0 million payment in the fourth quarter of 2013. We have the potential to earn development, regulatory and sales milestone payments that can reach up to approximately $210.0 million for each of the DART programs under this agreement. Boehringer provides funding for our internal and external research costs and is required to pay us mid-single digit royalties on product sales. In addition, Boehringer purchased $10.0 million of our Series D-2 Preferred Stock in January 2011. This preferred stock was converted to common stock upon our IPO in October 2013. |
| Pfizer. In October 2010, we entered into a three year agreement with Pfizer to discover, develop and commercialize up to two DART-based molecules. We granted Pfizer a non-exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license and received an upfront payment of $5.0 million and have received milestone payments and funding for our internal and external research costs under the agreement. We are eligible to receive technical, development and sales milestone payments that can reach up to approximately $210.0 million for each DART program under this agreement. Pfizer is responsible for all pre-clinical and clinical development costs for the program. In addition, Pfizer is required to pay us mid-single digit to low-teen royalties on product sales. Under this collaboration, one DART program is currently being pursued and we completed our research obligations under this program in January 2014. |
| Green Cross. In June 2010, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Green Cross for the development of margetuximab. We granted Green Cross an exclusive license to conduct specified Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials and commercialize margetuximab in South Korea. Under the terms of this agreement, we received an upfront, nonrefundable payment of $1.0 million. The agreement was amended in March 2014, and as a result we are eligible to receive reimbursement for research and development services provided for Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials up to $5.5 million as well as clinical development and commercial milestone payments of up to $2.5 million. We are also eligible to receive royalties ranging from the low-single digits to the low-twenties on net sales of margetuximab in South Korea. In addition, Green Cross purchased $2.0 million of our Series D-2 Preferred Stock in January 2011. This preferred stock was converted to common stock upon our IPO in October 2013. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The increase in collaboration revenue of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 is due to the receipt of a $5.0 million milestone payment under our agreement with Servier, the Green Cross amendment and related accounting adjustment of $1.3 million (see Note 4 to the financial statements for additional information) and increased revenue under the Boehringer agreement. These increases are partially offset by a decrease in revenue recognition related to the Servier agreement as the estimated development period, and therefore the revenue recognition period, was extended, and a decrease in revenue under the Pfizer agreement.
Grant revenue decreased in the three month period ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 due primarily to less activity on the Dengue virus grant.

General and administrative expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 by $0.5 million compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to bonus payments in the first quarter of 2013 offset by an increase in professional fees and other costs associated with public company operations in 2014.
Other Income (Expense)
The change to other income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from other expense of $34,245 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the change in the fair market value of the preferred stock warrant liability in 2013. This liability was settled in connection with our IPO in October 2013.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reflects, among other things, the amounts used to run our clinical trials and pre-clinical activities, including toxicology studies. The difference between net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and net cash used in operating activities during the same period in 2013 was primarily due to receipt of $20.0 million from Servier in the first quarter of 2014.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of additional lab equipment needed to further our research and development activities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 includes net proceeds from our follow-on equity offering and cash from stock option exercises. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 includes cash from stock option exercises.
23
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception through March 31, 2014, we have raised an aggregate of $753.2 million to fund our operations. Of this total amount, we have received $151.3 million from the sale of preferred stock, $386.4 million from our collaborators, including payments in the form of upfront, milestone and annual maintenance payments and reimbursement for research and development services performed, $160.5 million from our IPO and follow-on offering and $55.0 million from government grants and contracts. As of March 31, 2014, we had $198.7 million in cash and cash equivalents.
In addition to our existing cash and cash equivalents, we expect to continue to receive additional reimbursement from our collaborators for research and development services rendered, additional milestone and opt-in payments and grant revenue. However, our ability to receive these milestone payments is dependent upon our ability to achieve certain levels of research and development activities and is therefore uncertain at this time.
Funding Requirements
We have not generated any revenue from product sales to date and do not expect to do so until such time as we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize one or more of our product candidates. As we are currently in the clinical trial stage of development, it will be some time before we expect to achieve this and it is uncertain that we ever will. We expect that we will continue to increase our operating expenses in connection with ongoing as well as additional clinical trials and pre-clinical development of product candidates in our pipeline. We expect to continue our collaboration arrangements and will look for additional collaboration opportunities. We also expect to continue our efforts to pursue additional grants and contracts from the U.S. government in order to further our research and development. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, based upon our current operating plan, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014, combined with the collaboration payments we anticipate receiving, will enable us to fund the clinical development of margetuximab, MGA271, MGD006, MGD007, MGD010 and two additional pre-clinical DART-based oncology product candidates into 2017, assuming all of our collaboration programs advance as currently contemplated.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our primary objective when considering our investment activities is to preserve capital in order to fund our operations. Our primary exposure to market risk is related to changes in interest rates. Our current investment policy is to invest principally in deposits and securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, Government Sponsored Enterprise agency debt obligations, corporate debt obligations and money market instruments. As of March 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $198.7 million, of which $26.0 million was invested in money market funds and the remainder was in our corporate operating account. We do not believe that our cash and cash equivalents have significant risk.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
For information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see the risk factors discussion provided under Risk Factors in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as updated from time to time in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. See also, Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On February 18, 2014, we completed a follow-on offering of 2,250,000 shares of our common stock, including 450,000 shares of common stock sold pursuant to the underwriters full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares at a public offering price of $36.50 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $82.1 million. All of the shares issued and sold in the offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-193648), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 12, 2014. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Leerink Swann LLC acted as representatives of the several underwriters. The offering commenced on February 12, 2014 and did not terminate until the sale of all of the shares offered.
We received net proceeds from the offering of $76.7 million, after deducting approximately $4.9 million of underwriting discounts and commissions, and approximately $0.5 million of offering expenses payable by us. None of the underwriting discounts and commissions or other offering expenses were incurred or paid to our directors or officers or their associates or to persons owning 10 percent or more of our common stock.
There has been no material change in our planned use of the net proceeds from the offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on February 12, 2014. We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from the offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our stock.
