NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE 1 BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
OPKO Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OPKO”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a diversified healthcare company that seeks to establish industry leading positions in large and rapidly growing medical markets. Our pharmaceutical business features Rayaldee, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism (“SHPT”) in adults with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease (“CKD”) and vitamin D insufficiency, and Somatrogon (hGH-CTP), a once-weekly human growth hormone injection. We have partnered with Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) for the development and commercialization of Somatrogon (hGH-CTP). Regulatory approvals for Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency in children and adolescents have been secured in more than 50 markets, including the United States, European Union (“EU”) Member States, Japan, Canada, and Australia, where it is marketed under the brand name NGENLA®. Through our 2022 acquisition of ModeX Therapeutics, Inc. (“ModeX”), we have expanded our pharmaceutical pipeline with early-stage immune therapies targeting cancer and infectious diseases.
Our diagnostics business, BioReference Health, LLC (“BioReference”), is a highly specialized laboratory in the United States, with a sales and marketing team focused on growth and new product integration, including the 4Kscore® prostate cancer test. BioReference® offers a broad spectrum of diagnostic testing services for oncology, urology (4Kscore), and corrections nationwide, setting new standards with our industry-leading turnaround times. BioReference also provides comprehensive clinical and women’s health testing in New York and New Jersey. Our test offerings are backed by a team of board-certified medical professionals and driven by the latest healthcare guidelines and standards- marketed directly to physicians, geneticists, hospitals, clinics, correctional facilities, and other healthcare providers. On September 16, 2024 we consummated the sale of certain assets of BioReference to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings ("Labcorp"), as described below.
The Company maintains established, revenue-generating pharmaceutical platforms in Spain, Ireland, Chile, and Mexico, contributing to positive cash flow and facilitating market entry for our development pipeline. In addition to these platforms, we operate a global pharmaceutical development and commercial supply company, a global supply chain operation, and manufacture specialty active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in Israel through our subsidiary, FineTech.
Our management team possesses extensive industry experience in development, regulatory affairs, and commercialization. Their industry relationships support the identification and pursuit of commercial opportunities. Research and development activities are primarily conducted in facilities located in Weston, Massachusetts, Waterford, Ireland, Kiryat Gat, Israel, and Barcelona, Spain.
On March 27, 2024, the Company and BioReference entered into a definitive agreement with Labcorp (the “Labcorp Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Labcorp acquired select assets of BioReference (the “BioReference Transaction”). The BioReference Transaction closed on September 16, 2024, and upon closing, Labcorp paid to the Company aggregate consideration of $
Pursuant to the Labcorp Asset Purchase Agreement, a total of approximately $
We recognized a gain of $
NOTE 2 FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Approximately
We are subject to foreign currency transaction risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates between the time a transaction is initiated and settled. To mitigate this risk, we use foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix an exchange rate, allowing us to offset potential losses (or gains) caused by exchange rate changes at the settlement date. As of September 30, 2024, we held
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments or adjustments otherwise disclosed herein) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows have been made. The results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows that may be reported for the remainder of 2024 or any other future periods. The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Principles of consolidation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of OPKO Health, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash include short-term, interest-bearing instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. We also consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. These investments include money markets, bank deposits, certificates of deposit and U.S. treasury securities.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to the sum of such amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | $ | ||||||
| Restricted cash, current | ||||||||
| Restricted cash, long-term | ||||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows | $ | $ | ||||||
The Company classifies cash deposits related to letters of credit securing insurance and lease obligations as restricted cash, which is included in other assets, non-current, within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. We consider such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell such inventories, remaining shelf-life, and current market conditions to determine whether inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories at our diagnostics segment consist primarily of purchased laboratory supplies, which are used in our testing laboratories. Inventory obsolescence expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $
Goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting. Refer to Note 5. Goodwill, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and other intangible assets acquired in business combinations, licensing and other transactions was $
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, licensing and other transactions are generally recognized at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. At acquisition, we generally determine the fair value of intangible assets, including IPR&D, using the “income method.”
Subsequent to their acquisition, goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested at least annually as of October 1 for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.
Estimating the fair value of a reporting unit for goodwill impairment is highly sensitive to changes in projections and assumptions and changes in assumptions could potentially lead to impairment. We perform sensitivity analyses around our assumptions in order to assess the reasonableness of the assumptions and the results of our testing. Ultimately, potential changes in these assumptions may impact the estimated fair value of a reporting unit and result in an impairment if the fair value of such reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Goodwill was $
Net intangible assets other than goodwill were $
Upon regulatory approval, IPR&D assets are classified as finite-lived intangible assets. These assets are then amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. If a project is abandoned, the associated IPR&D costs are immediately expensed. We also regularly assess finite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This assessment involves comparing the carrying amount of an asset, which is its cost minus accumulated amortization, to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized to reflect the difference between the asset's carrying amount and its fair value.
While we believe our estimates and assumptions used in impairment testing (including for goodwill and IPR&D) are reasonable and reflect those used by market participants, there is a potential risk of material impairment charges. Based on the current financial performance of our diagnostics segment and our Ireland reporting unit (which includes Eirgen and Rayaldee), we could be subject to such charges if their future performance deviates from our current estimates and assumptions. For reference, the combined goodwill of these units totaled $
We amortize intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from
Fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Investments that are considered equity securities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are predominately carried at fair value. Our debt under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) approximates fair value due to the variable rate of interest applicable to such debt.
In evaluating the fair value information, considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of different market assumptions and/or different valuation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value presented herein may not be indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. Refer to Note 9.
Contingent consideration. Each period we revalue the contingent consideration obligations associated with certain prior acquisitions to their fair value and record increases in the fair value as contingent consideration expense and decreases in the fair value as a reduction in contingent consideration expense. Changes in contingent consideration result from changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related milestones, the estimated timing in which the milestones are achieved and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. Contingent consideration may change significantly as our development programs progress, revenue estimates evolve and additional data is obtained, impacting our assumptions. The assumptions used in estimating fair value require significant judgment. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a materially different estimate of fair value which may have a material impact on our results from operations and financial position.
Derivative financial instruments. We record derivative financial instruments on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value and recognize the changes in the fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations when they occur, the only exception being derivatives that qualify as hedges. For a derivative instrument to qualify as a hedge, we are required to meet strict hedge effectiveness and contemporaneous documentation requirements at the initiation of the hedge and assess the hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis over the life of the hedge. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our foreign currency forward contracts held to economically hedge inventory purchases did not meet the documentation requirements to be designated as hedges. Accordingly, we recognized all changes in the fair values of our derivatives instruments, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Refer to Note 10. In addition, we have determined the value of the embedded derivative liability within the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes (as defined in Note 7) and recorded it at fair value. Refer to Note 7. The changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recognized in the fair value changes of derivatives instruments, net. Refer to Note 9.
Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost or fair value if acquired in a business combination. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and includes amortization expense for assets capitalized under finance leases. The estimated useful lives by asset class are as follows: software -
Impairment of long-lived assets. Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and assets held for sale, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Income taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax bases and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. We periodically evaluate the realizability of our net deferred tax assets. Our tax accruals are analyzed periodically and adjustments are made as events occur to warrant such adjustment. Valuation allowances on certain U.S. deferred tax assets and non-U.S. deferred tax assets are established, because realization of these tax benefits through future taxable income does not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold.
We operate in various countries and tax jurisdictions globally. For interim reporting purposes, we record income taxes based on the expected effective income tax rate, taking into consideration year to date and global forecasted tax results. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of
Included in Other long-term liabilities is an accrual of $
Revenue recognition. We recognize revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We apply the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.
We apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, we review the contract to determine which performance obligations we must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. We recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. For a complete discussion of accounting for Revenues from services, Revenues from products and Revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other, refer to Note 13.
Concentration of credit risk and allowance for credit losses. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Substantially all of our accounts receivable are with either companies in the healthcare industry or patients. However, credit risk is limited due to the number of our clients as well as their dispersion across many different geographic regions.
While we have receivables due from federal and state governmental agencies, such receivables are not a credit risk because federal and state governments fund the related healthcare programs. Payment is primarily dependent upon submitting appropriate documentation. On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, receivable balances (net of explicit and implicit price concessions) from Medicare and Medicaid were
We assess the collectability of accounts receivable balances by considering factors such as historical collection experience, customer credit worthiness, the age of accounts receivable balances, regulatory changes and current economic conditions and trends that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses was $
As of September 30, 2024, accounts receivable included $
Stock Repurchase Program. On July 18, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $
Equity-based compensation. We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We record excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock options as cash flows from operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses include external and internal expenses. External expenses include clinical and nonclinical activities performed by contract research organizations, lab services, purchases of drug and diagnostic product materials and manufacturing development costs. Research and development employee-related expenses include salaries, benefits and equity-based compensation expense. Other internal research and development expenses are incurred to support overall research and development activities and include expenses related to general overhead and facilities. We expense these costs in the period in which they are incurred. We estimate our liabilities for research and development expenses in order to match the recognition of expenses to the period in which the actual services are received. As such, accrued liabilities related to third party research and development activities are recognized based upon our estimate of services received and degree of completion of the services in accordance with the specific third party contract.
Research and development expense includes costs for in-process research and development projects acquired in asset acquisitions which have not reached technological feasibility, and which have no alternative future use. For in-process research and development projects acquired in business combinations, the in-process research and development project is capitalized and evaluated for impairment until the development process has been completed. Once the development process has been completed the asset will be amortized over its remaining estimated useful life.
Segment reporting. Our chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is Phillip Frost, M.D., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Frost reviews our operating results and operating plans and makes resource allocation decisions on a Company-wide or aggregate basis. We manage our operations in reportable segments, pharmaceutical and diagnostics. The pharmaceutical segment consists of our pharmaceutical operations in Chile, Mexico, Ireland, Israel and Spain, Rayaldee product sales and our pharmaceutical research and development. The diagnostics segment primarily consists of clinical laboratory operations through BioReference and our point-of-care operations. There are no significant inter-segment sales. We evaluate the performance of each segment based on operating profit or loss. There is no inter-segment allocation of interest expense or income taxes. Refer to Note 15.
Shipping and handling costs. We do not charge customers for shipping and handling costs. Shipping and handling costs are classified as Cost of revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Foreign currency translation. The financial statements of certain of our foreign operations are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The local currency assets and liabilities are generally translated at the rate of exchange to the U.S. dollar on the balance sheet date. The local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange to the U.S. dollar during the reporting periods. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) have been reflected as a component of Other income (expense), net within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and foreign currency translation gains (losses) have been included as a component of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded foreign currency transaction income of $
Variable interest entities. The consolidation of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is required when an enterprise has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest in a VIE will have both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Refer to Note 6.
Investments. We have made strategic investments in development stage and emerging companies. We record these investments as equity method investments or as equity securities based on our percentage of ownership and whether we have significant influence over the operations of the investees. For investments classified under the equity method of accounting, we record our proportionate share of their losses in Losses from investments in investees in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Refer to Note 6. For investments classified as equity securities, we record changes in their fair value as Other income (expense) in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations based on their closing price per share at the end of each reporting period, unless the equity security does not have a readily determinable fair value. Refer to Note 6.
Accounting standards yet to be adopted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (iii) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. ASC 280 requires a public entity to report for each reportable segment a measure of segment profit or loss that its CODM uses to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with updates to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recently adopted accounting standards.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) established an inclusive framework on base erosion and profit shifting and agreed on a two-pillar solution (“Pillar Two”) to global taxation, focusing on global profit allocation and a 15% global minimum effective tax rate. On December 15, 2022, the EU member states agreed to implement the OECD’s global minimum tax rate of 15%. The OECD issued Pillar Two model rules and continues to release guidance on these rules. The inclusive framework calls for tax law changes by participating countries to take effect in 2024 and 2025. Various countries have enacted or have announced plans to enact new tax laws to implement the global minimum tax. We considered the applicable tax law changes on Pillar Two implementation in the relevant countries, and there is no material impact to our tax results for the period. We anticipate further legislative activity and administrative guidance in 2024, and will continue to evaluate the impacts of enacted legislation and pending legislation to enact Pillar Two Model Rules in the non-US tax jurisdictions we operate in.
NOTE 4 EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing our net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding during the period. Shares of Common Stock outstanding under the share lending arrangement entered into in conjunction with the 2025 Notes (as defined in Note 7) have been excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share because the borrower of the shares is required under the share lending arrangement to refund any dividends paid on the shares lent. We terminated the share lending agreement on January 22, 2024. Refer to Note 7. For diluted earnings per share, the dilutive impact of stock options and warrants is determined by applying the “treasury stock” method. The dilutive impact of the 2029 Convertible Notes, 2033 Senior Notes, the 2023 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Notes (each, as defined and discussed in Note 7) has been considered using the “if converted” method. For periods in which their effect would have been antidilutive, no effect is given in the dilutive computation to Common Stock issuable under outstanding options or warrants or the potentially dilutive shares issuable pursuant to the 2029 Convertible Notes, 2033 Senior Notes, the 2023 Convertible Notes and the 2025 Notes. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share:

We have determined that we hold variable interests in LeaderMed and Zebra. We made this determination as a result of our assessment that they do not have sufficient resources to carry out their principal activities without additional financial support.
In September 2021, we and LeaderMed, a pharmaceutical development company with operations based in Asia, formed a joint venture to develop, manufacture and commercialize two of OPKO’s clinical stage, long-acting drug products in Greater China and eight other Asian territories. Under the terms of the agreements, we granted the joint venture exclusive rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize (a) OPK88003, an oxyntomodulin analog being developed for the treatment of obesity and diabetes, and (b) Factor VIIa-CTP, a novel long acting coagulation factor being developed to treat hemophilia, in exchange for
In order to determine the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, we evaluated our investment and our related parties’ investment, as well as our investment combined with the related parties’ investment to identify if we had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture. Based on the capital structure, governing documents and overall business operations of the joint venture, we determined that, while a VIE, we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance and do not have an obligation to fund expected losses. We did determine that we can significantly influence control of the joint venture through our board representation and voting power. Therefore, we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the joint venture’s operations and account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method.

NOTE 9 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We record fair values at an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We utilize a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of September 30, 2024, we had equity securities and an equity method fair value option (refer to Note 6), forward foreign currency exchange contracts for inventory purchases (refer to Note 10). In addition, in connection with our investment and our consulting agreement with BioCardia, we record the related BioCardia options at fair value as well as warrants from COCP. In addition, restricted cash collateralized by money market funds is a financial asset measured at fair value as a Level 1 financial instrument under the fair value hierarchy.
Our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

We enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts with respect to the risk of exposure to exchange rate differences arising from inventory purchases on letters of credit. Under these forward contracts, for any rate above or below the fixed rate, we receive or pay the difference between the spot rate and the fixed rate for the given amount at the settlement date.
To qualify the derivative instrument as a hedge, we are required to meet strict hedge effectiveness and contemporaneous documentation requirements at the initiation of the hedge and assess the hedge effectiveness on an ongoing basis over the life of the hedge.

NOTE 12 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In February 2023, the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Texas (“TX OAG”) informed BioReference that it believes that, from 2005 to the present, BioReference may have violated the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act with respect to claims it presented to Texas Medicaid for reimbursement. BioReference and the TX OAG have reached an agreement in principle to settle this matter and are currently negotiating the settlement agreement.
On December 29, 2022, the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) issued an assessment against our subsidiary, OPKO Biologics in the amount of approximately $
The Company and BioReference entered into (i) a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), effective July 14, 2022, with the United States of America, acting through the United States Department of Justice and on behalf of the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (“OIG-HHS”), and the Defense Health Agency, acting on behalf of the TRICARE Program (collectively, the “United States”), the Commonwealth of Massachusetts , the State of Connecticut, and the relator identified therein (“Relator”), and (ii) a Corporate Integrity Agreement, effective July 14, 2022 (the “CIA”), with the OIG-HHS, to resolve the investigation and related civil action concerning alleged fee-for-service claims for payment to the Medicare Program, the Medicaid Program, and the TRICARE Program (collectively, the “Federal Health Care Programs”).
Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company and BioReference admitted only to having made payments to certain physicians and physicians’ groups for office space rentals for amounts that exceeded fair market value, and that it did not report or return any such overpayments to the Federal Health Care Programs (the “Covered Conduct”). The Covered Conduct had commenced prior to the Company’s acquisition of BioReference in 2015. With the exception of the Covered Conduct, the Company and BioReference expressly deny the allegations of the Relator as set forth in her civil action. The Company has paid a total of $
Under the CIA, which has a term of 5 years, BioReference is required to, among other things: (i) maintain a Compliance Officer, a Compliance Committee, board review and oversight of certain federal healthcare compliance matters, compliance programs, and disclosure programs; (ii) provide management certifications and compliance training and education; (iii) establish written compliance policies and procedures to meet federal health care program requirements; (iv) create procedures designed to ensure compliance with the Anti-Kickback Statute and/or Stark Law; (v) engage an independent review organization to conduct a thorough review of BioReference’ s systems, policies, processes and procedures related to certain arrangements; (vi) implement a risk assessment and internal review process; (vii) establish a disclosure program for whistleblowers; and (viii) report or disclose certain events and physician payments. The Company’s or BioReference’s failure to comply with its obligations under the CIA could result in monetary penalties and the exclusion from participation in Federal Health Care Programs. The CIA does not apply to any of the Company’s subsidiaries other than BioReference, and its scope is generally limited to “focus arrangements”, which are those “arrangements” (as defined in the CIA) (i) between BioReference and any actual source or recipient of health care business or referrals and involves, directly or indirectly, the offer, payment, or provision of anything of value, or (ii) is between BioReference and any physician (or a physician’s immediate family member). Most of these measures have already been implemented at BioReference. Following its acquisition of BioReference, the Company and BioReference implemented robust compliance measures that substantially align with those actions required under the CIA.
On March 1, 2019, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), Washington, DC. The CID sets forth document requests and interrogatories in connection with allegations that the Company and certain of its affiliates violated the False Claims Act and/or the Anti-Kickback Statute. On January 13, 2022, the Federal Government notified the U.S.D.C., Middle District Florida, Jacksonville Division, that it is declining to intervene in the matter but retains the right, via the Attorney General, to consent to any proposed dismissal of the action by the Court. On February 9, 2022, the States of Florida, Georgia, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts notified the U.S.D.C., Middle District Florida, Jacksonville Division, that they are declining to intervene in the matter. Notwithstanding the above declinations, on February 17, 2022, the Company was served with the Relator’s Summons and Complaint (“Complaint”), which had been previously sealed. The Complaint alleges violations of the False Claims Act, the California Fraud Preventions Act, the Florida False Claims Act, the Massachusetts False Claims Act, the Georgia False Medicaid Claims Act, and illegal kickbacks. A motion to dismiss the Complaint was filed on April 25, 2022 and the case was dismissed in March 2023. However, the Relator filed an amended complaint in April 2023 and a second amended complaint, both of which were dismissed. Relator then filed an appeal in the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals which is pending before the court following a failed mediation in April 2024. While management cannot predict the outcome of these matters at this time, the ultimate outcome could be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
From time to time, we may receive inquiries, document requests, CIDs or subpoenas from the Department of Justice, OCR, CMS, various payors and fiscal intermediaries, and other state and federal regulators regarding investigations, audits and reviews. In addition to the matters discussed in this note, we are currently responding to CIDs, subpoenas, payor audits, and document requests for various matters relating to our laboratory operations. Some pending or threatened proceedings against us may involve potentially substantial amounts as well as the possibility of civil, criminal, or administrative fines, penalties, or other sanctions, which could be material. Settlements of suits involving the types of issues that we routinely confront may require monetary payments as well as corporate integrity agreements. Additionally, qui tam or “whistleblower” actions initiated under the civil False Claims Act may be pending but placed under seal by the court to comply with the False Claims Act’s requirements for filing such suits. Also, from time to time, we may detect issues of non-compliance with federal healthcare laws pertaining to claims submission and reimbursement practices and/or financial relationships with physicians, among other things. We may avail ourselves of various mechanisms to address these issues, including participation in voluntary disclosure protocols. Participating in voluntary disclosure protocols can have the potential for significant settlement obligations or even enforcement action. The Company generally has cooperated, and intends to continue to cooperate, with appropriate regulatory authorities as and when investigations, audits and inquiries arise.
We are a party to other litigation in the ordinary course of business. While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of legal matters, we accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. It’s reasonably possible the ultimate liability could exceed amounts currently estimated and we review established accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and our views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in our accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. Because of the high degree of judgment involved in establishing loss estimates, the ultimate outcome of such matters will differ from our estimates and such differences may be material to our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
At September 30, 2024, we were committed to make future purchases for inventory and other items in 2024 that occur in the ordinary course of business under various purchase arrangements with fixed purchase provisions aggregating approximately $
NOTE 13 REVENUE RECOGNITION
We generate revenues from services, products and intellectual property as follows:
Revenue from services
Revenue for laboratory services is recognized at the time test results are reported, which approximates when services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied. Services are provided to patients covered by various third-party payor programs including various managed care organizations, as well as the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Billings for services are included in revenue net of allowances for contractual discounts, allowances for differences between the amounts billed and estimated program payment amounts, and implicit price concessions provided to uninsured patients which are all elements of variable consideration.
The following are descriptions of our payors for laboratory services:
Healthcare Insurers. Reimbursements from healthcare insurers are based on negotiated fee-for-service schedules. Revenues consist of amounts billed, net of contractual allowances for differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration we expect to receive from such payors, which considers historical denial and collection experience and the terms of our contractual arrangements. Adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts from the third-party payors, are recorded upon settlement.
Government Payors. Reimbursements from government payors are based on fee-for-service schedules set by governmental authorities, including traditional Medicare and Medicaid. Revenues consist of amounts billed, net of contractual allowances for differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration we expect to receive from such payors, which considers historical denial and collection experience and the terms of our contractual arrangements. Adjustments to the allowances, based on actual receipts from the government payors, are recorded upon settlement.
Client Payors. Client payors include physicians, hospitals, employers, and other institutions for which services are performed on a wholesale basis, and are billed and recognized as revenue based on negotiated fee schedules.
Patients. Uninsured patients are billed based on established patient fee schedules or fees negotiated with physicians on behalf of their patients. Insured patients (including amounts for coinsurance and deductible responsibilities) are billed based on fees negotiated with healthcare insurers. Collection of billings from patients is subject to credit risk and ability of the patients to pay. Revenues consist of amounts billed net of discounts provided to uninsured patients in accordance with our policies and implicit price concessions. Implicit price concessions represent differences between amounts billed and the estimated consideration that we expect to receive from patients, which considers historical collection experience and other factors including current market conditions. Adjustments to the estimated allowances, based on actual receipts from the patients, are recorded upon settlement.
The complexities and ambiguities of billing, reimbursement regulations and claims processing, as well as considerations unique to Medicare and Medicaid programs, require us to estimate the potential for retroactive adjustments as an element of variable consideration in the recognition of revenue in the period the related services are rendered. Actual amounts are adjusted in the period those adjustments become known. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $
Third-party payors, including government programs, may decide to deny payment or recoup payments for testing they contend were improperly billed or not medically necessary, against their coverage determinations, or for which they believe they have otherwise overpaid (including as a result of their own error), and we may be required to refund payments already received. Our revenues may be subject to retroactive adjustment as a result of these factors among others, including without limitation, differing interpretations of billing and coding guidance and changes by government agencies and payors in interpretations, requirements, and “conditions of participation” in various programs. We have processed requests for recoupment from third-party payors in the ordinary course of our business, and it is likely that we will continue to do so in the future. If a third-party payor denies payment for testing or recoups money from us in a later period, reimbursement for our testing could decline.
As an integral part of our billing compliance program, we periodically assess our billing and coding practices, respond to payor audits on a routine basis, and investigate reported failures or suspected failures to comply with federal and state healthcare reimbursement requirements, as well as overpayment claims which may arise from time to time without fault on the part of the Company. We may have an obligation to reimburse Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party payors for overpayments regardless of fault. We have periodically identified and reported overpayments, reimbursed payors for overpayments and taken appropriate corrective action.
Settlements with third-party payors for retroactive adjustments due to audits, reviews or investigations are also considered variable consideration and are included in the determination of the estimated transaction price for providing services. These settlements are estimated based on the terms of the payment agreement with the payor, correspondence from the payor and our historical settlement activity, including an assessment of the probability a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty is subsequently resolved. Estimated settlements are adjusted in future periods as adjustments become known (that is, new information becomes available), or as years are settled or are no longer subject to such audits, reviews, and investigations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had liabilities of approximately $

Revenue from products
We recognize revenue from product sales when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recorded reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Our estimates for sales returns and allowances are based upon the historical patterns of product returns and allowances taken, matched against the sales from which they originated, and our evaluation of specific factors that may increase or decrease the risk of product returns. Product revenues are recorded net of estimated rebates, chargebacks, discounts, co-pay assistance and other deductions (collectively, “Sales Deductions”) as well as estimated product returns which are all elements of variable consideration. Allowances are recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time product revenues are recognized. The actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect revenue from products in the period such variances become known.
Rayaldee is distributed in the U.S. principally through the retail pharmacy channel, which initiates with the largest wholesalers in the U.S. (collectively, “Rayaldee Customers”). In addition to distribution agreements with Rayaldee Customers, we have entered into arrangements with many healthcare providers and payors that provide for government-mandated or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of Rayaldee.
We recognize revenue for shipments of Rayaldee at the time of delivery to customers after estimating Sales Deductions and product returns as elements of variable consideration utilizing historical information and market research projections. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $

Taxes collected from customers related to revenues from services and revenues from products are excluded from revenues.
Revenue from intellectual property and other
We recognize revenues from the transfer of intellectual property generated through license, development, collaboration and/or commercialization agreements. The terms of these agreements typically include payment to us for one or more of the following: non-refundable, up-front license fees; development and commercialization milestone payments; funding of research and/or development activities; and royalties on sales of licensed products. Revenue is recognized upon satisfaction of a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to the customer.
For research, development and/or commercialization agreements that result in revenues, we identify all material performance obligations, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, and research and development activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, we estimate the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. We constrain (reduce) our estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, we consider whether there are factors outside of our control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, we consider the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required.
Upfront License Fees: If a license to our intellectual property is determined to be functional intellectual property distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, we recognize revenue from nonrefundable, upfront license fees based on the relative value prescribed to the license compared to the total value of the arrangement. The revenue is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the customer is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are not distinct from other obligations identified in the arrangement, we utilize judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. If the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time, we apply an appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from nonrefundable, upfront license fees. We evaluate the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjust the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.
Research and Development Activities: If we are entitled to reimbursement from our customers for specified research and development expenses, we account for them as separate performance obligations if distinct. We also determine whether the research and development funding would result in revenues or an offset to research and development expenses in accordance with provisions of gross or net revenue presentation. The corresponding revenues or offset to research and development expenses are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied.
BARDA Contract: Revenue from the BARDA Contract is generated under terms that are cost plus fee. We recognize revenue using the incurred costs output method to measure progress. Revenue will only be recognized when research and development services are performed to the extent of actual costs incurred.
Sales-based Milestone and Royalty Payments: Our customers may be required to pay us sales-based milestone payments or royalties on future sales of commercial products. We recognize revenues related to sales-based milestone and royalty payments upon the later to occur of (i) achievement of the customer’s underlying sales or (ii) satisfaction of any performance obligation(s) related to these sales, in each case assuming the license to our intellectual property is deemed to be the predominant item to which the sales-based milestones and/or royalties relate.
Other Potential Products and Services: Arrangements may include an option for license rights, future supply of drug substance or drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the licensee’s election. We assess if these options provide a material right to the licensee and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations at the inception of the contract and revenue is recognized only if the option is exercised and products or services are subsequently delivered or when the rights expire. If the promise is based on market terms and not considered a material right, the option is accounted for if and when exercised. If we are entitled to additional payments when the licensee exercises these options, any additional payments are generally recorded in license or other revenues when the licensee obtains control of the goods, which is upon delivery.

NOTE 14 STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority
On September 28, 2023, ModeX was awarded a contract (as amended as decribed below, the “BARDA Contract”) by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA"), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This contract aims to advance a platform and product candidates addressing various public health threats, specifically in viral infectious diseases. The funding enables the research, development, and clinical evaluation of multispecific antibodies based on ModeX's proprietary MSTAR technology. MSTAR is a flexible, plug-and-play platform capable of incorporating multiple independent antibody binding sites into a single molecule, expanding its therapeutic potential and enabling rapid responses to emerging infections, including viral variants like COVID-19, influenza, and other pathogens.
In September 2024, ModeX entered into two amendments (the “BARDA Amendments”) to modify the scope and funding of the BARDA Contract. The BARDA Amendments structured the funding thereunder as cost-plus-fixed-fee, which includes a $
As part of the research program, gene-based delivery methods for the multispecific antibodies will be developed using mRNA or DNA vectors to leverage the body's natural protein production processes. BARDA will make periodic progress assessments, and the continuation of the BARDA Contract depends on ModeX’s performance, the timeliness and quality of deliverables, and other factors. The BARDA Contract contains customary government contract provisions, including BARDA's right to terminate the contract in its discretion.
The Company evaluated the BARDA Contract under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), and determined that the U.S. government meets the definition of a customer. The scope of the BARDA Contract includes preclinical, clinical, and manufacturing activities, as well as regulatory, quality assurance, management, and administrative activities. The research and development effort will progress in stages covering base and option segments, with ModeX completing specific tasks in each segment.
The Company identified three potential material promises under the BARDA Contract: (i) development of a tetravalent trispecific antibody for COVID-19; (ii) development of a multispecific protein antibody for influenza or another pathogen; and (iii) nucleic acid delivery of a multispecific antibody for influenza or another pathogen. The Company determined the promise to develop a tetravalent trispecific antibody for COVID-19 is a separate performance obligation, as it is distinct within the contract and provides standalone value. Similarly, the exercised option to develop a multispecific protein antibody for influenza or another pathogen is also a separate performance obligation. However, the Company determined that the nucleic acid delivery option does not offer incremental discounts beyond those typically provided for such goods and services, and therefore does not represent a material right. As such, the options in (iii) were not considered performance obligations at the outset of the BARDA Contract.
The Company concluded that research and development services performed under the BARDA Contract would be recognized as revenue when research and development services are performed to the extent of actual costs incurred including a fixed fee and will be reimbursed by BARDA. Costs incurred represent work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control of the research and development to BARDA. Types of contract costs include labor, material, and third-party services. As such, the related BARDA revenue is recognized as revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $
Merck
On March 8, 2023, ModeX, the Company (with respect to certain sections), and Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC (“Merck”) entered into a License and Research Collaboration Agreement (the “Merck Agreement”) pursuant to which ModeX granted to Merck a license to certain patent rights and know-how in connection with the development of ModeX’s preclinical nanoparticle vaccine candidate targeting the Epstein-Barr Virus.
Under the terms of the Merck Agreement, ModeX granted to Merck an exclusive, sublicensable, royalty-bearing license to certain intellectual property to develop, manufacture, use and commercialize (i) a multivalent or monovalent vaccine assembled using our platform for Epstein-Barr Virus (“Vaccine”), and (ii) any pharmaceutical or biological preparation in final form containing a Vaccine for sale or for administration to human patients in a clinical trial for all uses (“Product”). We received an initial payment of $
As part of their strategic collaboration, ModeX and Merck have put in place a research plan to manage research and other development activities related to the development of a Vaccine or Product including a joint steering committee to facilitate the research program. As part of the research plan, they will use a third-party contract development and manufacturing organization to carry out such activities unless otherwise agreed. Development costs incurred by ModeX in furtherance of these development activities will be reimbursed by Merck. To date, we have spent $
The Merck Agreement will remain in effect until one or more Products receive marketing authorization, and, thereafter, until the expiration of all royalty obligations unless earlier terminated as permitted under the Merck Agreement. In addition to termination rights for material breach and bankruptcy, Merck is permitted to terminate the Merck Agreement in its entirety without cause after a specified notice period. If Merck terminates the Merck Agreement for convenience or by us for Merck’s uncured material breach, we may elect to receive a reversion license such that we can continue its work with Vaccines and Products which have not been terminated due to a material safety issue.
LeaderMed
On September 14, 2021, we and LeaderMed announced the formation of a joint venture to develop, manufacture and commercialize two of OPKO’s clinical stage, long-acting drug products in Greater China and eight other Asian territories.

Nicoya is, at its sole cost and expense, responsible for performing all development activities necessary to obtain all regulatory approvals for the Nicoya Product in the Nicoya Territory and will be responsible for all commercial activities pertaining to the Nicoya Product in the Nicoya Territory.
Unless earlier terminated, the Nicoya Agreement will remain in effect until such time as all royalty payment terms and extended payment terms have expired, and Nicoya shall have no further payment obligations to EirGen under the terms of the Nicoya Agreement. Nicoya’s royalty obligations expire on the later of (i) expiration of the last to expire valid patent claim covering the Nicoya Product sold in the Nicoya Territory, (ii) expiration of all regulatory and data exclusivity applicable to the Nicoya Product in the Nicoya Territory, and (iii) on a product-by-product basis, ten (
VFMCRP
In May 2016, EirGen and Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma Ltd. (“VFMCRP ”) entered into a Development and License Agreement (the “VFMCRP Agreement”) for the development and commercialization of Rayaldee (the “Product”) worldwide, except for (i) the United States and Canada, (ii) any country in Central America or South America (including Mexico), (iii) Russia, (iv) China, (v) South Korea, (vi) Ukraine, (vii) Belorussia, (viii) Azerbaijan, (ix) Kazakhstan, (x) Taiwan (xi) the Middle East, and (xii) all countries of Africa (the “VFMCRP Territory”), as amended. The license to VFMCRP potentially covers all therapeutic and prophylactic uses of the Product in human patients (the “VFMCRP Field”), provided that initially the license is for the use of the Product for the treatment or prevention of SHPT related to patients with CKD and vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency (the “VFMCRP Initial Indication”).
In January 2023, the German Association of Statutory Health Insurance funds (GKV-SV) granted price approval for Rayaldee. This triggered a milestone payment of $
Effective May 23, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the VFMCRP Agreement pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed to include Japan as part of the VFMCRP Territory.
Effective May 5, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the VFMCRP Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to exclude Mexico, South Korea, the Middle East and all of the countries of Africa from the VFMCRP Territory. In addition, the parties agreed to certain amendments to the milestone structure and to reduce minimum royalties payable. As revised, the Company has received a $
We plan to share responsibility with VFMCRP for the conduct of trials specified within an agreed-upon development plan, with each company leading certain activities within the plan. EirGen will lead the manufacturing activities within and outside the VFMCRP Territory and the commercialization activities outside the VFMCRP Territory and outside the VFMCRP Field in the VFMCRP Territory and VFMCRP will lead the commercialization activities in the VFMCRP Territory and the VFMCRP Field. For the initial development plan, the companies have agreed to certain cost sharing arrangements. VFMCRP will be responsible for all other development costs that VFMCRP considers necessary to develop the Product for the use of the Product for the VFMCRP Initial Indication in the VFMCRP Territory in the VFMCRP Field except as otherwise provided in the VFMCRP Agreement. The first of the clinical studies provided for in the development activities commenced in September 2018.
In connection with the VFMCRP Agreement, the parties entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which EirGen granted to VFMCRP an exclusive option (the “Option”) to acquire an exclusive license under certain EirGen patents and technology to use, import, offer for sale, sell, distribute and commercialize the Product in the U.S. solely for the treatment of SHPT in dialysis patients with CKD and vitamin D insufficiency (the “Dialysis Indication”). Upon exercise of the Option, VFMCRP has agreed to reimburse EirGen for all of the development costs incurred by EirGen with respect to the Product for the Dialysis Indication in the U.S. VFMCRP would also pay EirGen up to an additional aggregate amount of $
Payments received for regulatory milestones and sales milestones are non-refundable. The regulatory milestones are payable if and when VFMCRP obtains approval from certain regulatory authorities and will be recognized as revenue in the period in which the associated milestone is achieved, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. We account for the sales milestones as royalties and sales milestones payments will be recognized as revenue in the period in which the associated milestone is achieved or sales occur, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.
Pfizer Inc.
In December 2014, we entered into an exclusive worldwide agreement with Pfizer for the development and commercialization of our long-acting Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency (“GHD”) in adults and children, as well as for the treatment of growth failure in children born small for gestational age (the “Pfizer Transaction”). In May 2020, we entered into an amended and restated development and commercialization license with Pfizer, effective January 1, 2020 (the “Restated Pfizer Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to share all costs for Manufacturing Activities, as defined in the Restated Pfizer Agreement, for developing a licensed product for the three indications included in the Restated Pfizer Agreement.
In June 2023, the FDA approved NGENLA (Somatrogon (hGH-CTP)) a once-weekly injection to treat pediatric growth hormone deficiency in the United States. In early 2022, the European Commission and Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan approved NGENLA (Somatrogon). We have also received pricing approvals in Germany and Japan. NGENLA (Somatrogon (hGH-CTP)) is approved for the treatment of pediatric GHD in more than 50 markets, including Canada, Australia, Japan, and EU Member States. With the achievement of these milestones, in 2023 we recorded revenue of $
On October 21, 2019, we and Pfizer announced that the global phase 3 trial evaluating Somatrogon dosed once-weekly in prepubertal children with GHD met its primary endpoint of non-inferiority to daily Genotropin® (somatropin) for injection, as measured by annual height velocity at 12 months.
Under the terms of the Restated Pfizer Agreement we received non-refundable and non-creditable upfront payments of $
The Restated Pfizer Agreement will remain in effect until the last sale of the licensed product, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. In addition to termination rights for material breach and bankruptcy, Pfizer is permitted to terminate the Restated Pfizer Agreement in its entirety, or with respect to one or more world regions, without cause after a specified notice period. If the Restated Pfizer Agreement is terminated by us for Pfizer’s uncured material breach, or by Pfizer without cause, provision has been made for transition of product and product responsibilities to us for the terminated regions, as well as continued supply of product by Pfizer or transfer of supply to us in order to support the terminated regions.
We recognized the non-refundable $
The Restated Pfizer Agreement includes milestone payments of $
Other
We have completed strategic deals with numerous institutions and commercial partners. In connection with these agreements, upon the achievement of certain milestones we are obligated to make certain payments and have royalty obligations upon sales of products developed under the license agreements. At this time, we are unable to estimate the timing and amounts of payments as the obligations are based on future development of the licensed products.

NOTE 16 LEASES
We have operating leases for office space, laboratory operations, research and development facilities, manufacturing locations, warehouses and certain equipment. We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. Our leases generally do not provide an implicit interest rate, and we therefore use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the lease within a particular currency environment. We used the incremental borrowing rates as of January 1, 2019 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date. Many of our leases contain rental escalation, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments as appropriate. Variable lease payment amounts that cannot be determined at the commencement of the lease are not included in the right-to-use assets or liabilities.
We elected the use of permitted practical expedients of not recording leases on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet when the leases have terms of 12 months or less, and we elected not to separate nonlease components from lease components and instead account for each separate lease component and the nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
ModeX Expands BARDA Collaboration
In September 2024, ModeX entered into two amendments (the "BARDA Amendments") to modify the scope and funding with our existing contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The BARDA Amendment increased the total contract value to $110.0 million, with a potential value of $205 million if BARDA exercises all options thereunder to expand ModeX's services. The BARDA Amendment includes a $26.9 million supplement to accelerate the development of our COVID-19 program, including a Phase 1 clinical trial for a next-generation multispecific antibody with broad neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Additionally, BARDA exercised a $24.1 million option to initiate the development of a multispecific antibody for influenza or another pathogen.
Completion of Disposition of Select BioReference Assets
On September 16, 2024, the Company completed the sale of certain assets of BioReference (the “BioReference Transaction”) to Labcorp. Labcorp paid to the Company aggregate consideration of $237.5 million in cash, which is subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Labcorp Asset Purchase Agreement (as defined in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (our "Quarterly Financial Statements")). The assets acquired by Labcorp include BioReference's laboratory testing businesses focused on clinical diagnostics, reproductive health, and women's health across the United States, excluding New York and New Jersey operations. We retained our oncology and urology diagnostic services nationwide. The BioReference assets were formerly part of our diagnostics segment. We recognized a gain of $121.5 million from the BioReference Transaction for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
On July 18, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our Common Stock. Under this program, we may repurchase shares through various methods, including open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions and accelerated share repurchases, as well as pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, and otherwise in compliance with applicable laws. The timing and volume of repurchases will depend on market conditions, our capital management, investment opportunities, and other factors. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no set expiration date, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at our discretion. The Company repurchased 14,893,026 shares for approximately $23.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
$250 Million Note Purchase Agreement Secured by NGENLA’s Profit Share Payments
On July 17, 2024, the Company completed a private offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “2044 Notes”), pursuant to a note purchase agreement dated July 17, 2024 (the “2044 Note Purchase Agreement), by and among the Company, certain purchasers party thereto, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries OPKO Biologics Limited (“OPKO Biologics”) and EirGen Pharma Ltd. (“EirGen”) as guarantors (OPKO Biologics and EirGen collectively, the “2044 Note Guarantors”), and HCR Injection SPV, LLC, as agent (“Agent”). The 2044 Notes mature on July 17, 2044 and bear interest at the 3-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) subject to a 4.0% per annum floor, plus 7.5% per annum. Interest is payable on the 2044 Notes on a quarterly basis determined by profit share payments received by EirGen pursuant to the profit share arrangement with Pfizer, Inc. (the “Royalty Payments”) set forth in the Restated Pfizer Agreement (as described in Note 4 to our Quarterly Financials). In the event that the aggregate amount of the Royalty Payments received by EirGen during the quarter preceding any quarterly interest payment date are less than the accrued and unpaid interest payable on such date, the excess interest payable on such date shall be paid-in-kind and added to the outstanding principal amount of the 2044 Notes. The Company will be required to pay the noteholders a 3% exit fee in connection with any repayment in full of the 2044 Notes, whether at maturity or otherwise. In addition, in the event that the Company repays the 2044 Notes in full prior to the maturity date, the Company will be required to pay the noteholders a make whole payment in an amount necessary such that the noteholders shall have received aggregate payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of the 2044 Notes equal to at least 150% of the initial principal amount of the 2044 Notes, in the event that such prepayment shall occur on or prior to July 17, 2029, or 200% of the initial principal amount of the 2044 Notes, in the event that such prepayment shall occur following July 17, 2029. The Company may authorize up to an additional $50,000,000 in additional 2044 Notes to the purchasers on the same terms and conditions of the initial 2044 Notes.
Offering of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029
In January 2024, we completed a private offering of $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible 144A Notes”) in accordance with the terms of a note purchase agreement (the “144A Note Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and between the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Initial Purchaser”). The $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Convertible 144A Notes included $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2029 Convertible 144A Notes purchased on the Closing Date by the Initial Purchaser in accordance with its overallotment option.
Net proceeds from the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes issuance totaled approximately $222.0 million after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We allocated approximately $50.0 million of these net proceeds to repurchase shares of our Common Stock. These repurchases were from purchasers of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through the Initial Purchaser or its affiliate. The purchase price per share of the Common Stock in these transactions equaled the closing sale price of $0.9067 per share of Common Stock on January 4, 2024.
Contemporaneously with the closing of the offering of the 2029 Convertible Notes on January 9, 2024, we issued and sold approximately $71.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Convertible Affiliate Notes” and, together with the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes, the “2029 Convertible Notes”) pursuant to the terms of a note purchase agreement entered into on January 4, 2024 (the “Affiliate Note Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain investors including, Frost Gamma Investments Trust, a trust controlled by Phillip Frost, M.D., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Jane H. Hsiao, Ph.D., MBA, our Vice-Chairman and Chief Technical Officer (collectively, the “Affiliate Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Affiliate Note Purchase Agreement, we issued and sold the 2029 Convertible Affiliate Notes to the Affiliate Purchasers in exchange for the entirety of the $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2023 Convertible Notes held by the affiliate Purchasers, together with approximately $16.1 million of accrued but unpaid interest thereon.
Furthermore, in connection with the closing of our offering of the 2029 Convertible Notes, we repurchased approximately $144.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes for cash, using $146.3 million of the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes.
Termination of Share Lending Agreement
On January 22, 2024, we terminated our share lending agreement, dated February 4, 2019, with Jefferies Capital Services, LLC (“Share Borrower”). Through this agreement, we had lent the Share Borrower approximately 30 million shares of our common stock related to our 2019 issuance of the $200.0 million in 2025 Notes. We had since reduced the number of outstanding borrowed shares by approximately 8.313 million. With the termination of this agreement, all remaining shares have been returned to us and are now held as treasury shares.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Approximately 22.3% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar (USD). This compares to 30.7% for the same period in 2023. Our financial statements are reported in USD; therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates affect the translation of foreign-denominated revenue and expenses. During the second quarter of 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, our most significant currency exchange rate exposures were to the Euro and the Chilean Peso. Gross accumulated currency translation adjustments, recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, totaled $36.2 million and $34.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
We are subject to foreign currency transaction risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates between the time a transaction is initiated and settled. To mitigate this risk, we use foreign currency forward contracts. These contracts fix an exchange rate, allowing us to offset potential losses (or gains) caused by exchange rate changes at the settlement date. As of September 30, 2024, we held no open foreign exchange forward contracts related to inventory purchases on letters of credit. As of December 31, 2023, we held 52 open foreign exchange forward contracts related to inventory purchases on letters of credit. These contracts matured monthly through January 2024 with a total notional value of approximately $2.9 million.
Our consolidated (loss) income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

Revenue. Revenue from services for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by approximately $10.4 million, a decrease of 7.9% compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.0 million reduction in clinical test reimbursement rates and an $8.4 million decrease in clinical test volume, of which $3.3 million was attributable to the BioReference Transaction.
Estimated collection amounts are subject to the complexities and ambiguities of billing, reimbursement regulations and claims processing, as well as considerations unique to Medicare and Medicaid programs, and require us to consider the potential for retroactive adjustments when estimating variable consideration in the recognition of revenue in the period the related services are rendered. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These adjustments reflect changes in estimated implicit price concessions for services provided in prior periods, primarily due to shifts in the composition of our client mix
The composition of revenue from services by payor for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $2.5 million, an increase of 2.3% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily due to $4.2 million in accruals set aside to cover volume shortfalls on contracts as a result of the Labcorp transaction.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $71.0 million and $48.8 million, respectively, representing an increase of 45.4% from the prior period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to severance expense of $26.3 million, offset by a decrease in employee-related expenses, reflecting continued cost-reduction initiatives.
Research and development expenses. The following table summarizes the components of our research and development expenses:

The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in employee-related expenses as a result of the continued cost-reduction initiatives implemented at BioReference.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $3.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the BioReference Transaction, which impacted the amount of amortizable intangible assets.
Gain on sale of assets. Gain on sale of assets for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was $121.5 million which reflects the gain on sale from the BioReference Transaction.

Revenue from products. Revenue from products for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $1.5 million or 3.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was largely attributable to lower Rayaldee sales, which generated $5.8 million of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2023. In addition, demand for our products in international operations increased, foreign currency fluctuations also negatively impacted revenue.
Revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other was $13.2 million compared to $6.3 million for the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to $5.5 million from the BARDA Contract (as defined and described in Note 14 to our Quarterly Financials). Gross profit share and royalty payments for NGENLA (Somatrogon) and Pfizer's Genotropin® (Somatropin) also increased to $7.0 million, compared with $4.9 million for the same period in 2023.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $0.1 million, an increase of 0.5%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of revenue increased primarily due to a shift in product mix offset by favorable foreign currency exchange, which had a positive impact on cost of revenue, reducing it by $1.5 million.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $15.2 million and $13.5 million, respectively, an increase of 12.3% from the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by higher professional fees. Additionally, employee-related expenses also contributed to the increase in SG&A in our international operations.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $28.2 million and $18.9 million, respectively, an increase of 49.6% from the prior year period. Research and development expenses include external and internal expenses, partially offset by third-party grants and funding arising from collaboration agreements. External expenses include clinical and non-clinical activities performed by contract research organizations, lab services, purchases of drug and diagnostic product materials and manufacturing development costs. We track external research and development expenses by individual program for phase 3 clinical trials for drug approval and premarket approval for diagnostics tests, if any. Internal expenses include employee-related expenses such as salaries, benefits and equity-based compensation expense. Other internal research and development expenses are incurred to support overall research and development activities and include expenses related to general overhead and facilities.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased primarily due to higher expenses at ModeX. This increase was driven by a combination of factors, including growth in our BARDA collaboration, advancements and expansion in our early-stage programs, and higher employee-related expenses.
Contingent consideration. Contingent consideration for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was zero, as compared to $1.1 million reversal of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Contingent consideration for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to changes in assumptions regarding the timing of achievement of future milestones for OPKO Renal, and potential amounts payable to former stockholders of OPKO Renal in connection therewith, pursuant to our acquisition agreement in 2013.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $16.5 million and $16.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Amortization expense reflects the amortization of acquired intangible assets with defined useful lives. Our indefinite lived IPR&D assets will not be amortized until the underlying development programs are completed. Upon obtaining regulatory approval by the FDA, the IPR&D assets will be accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of approximately 12 years.

Operating loss for our unallocated corporate operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $12.1 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and principally reflect general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with our corporate operations. The increase in operating loss for our unallocated corporate operations was primarily due to an increase in employee-related expenses.
Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $2.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase in interest income is driven by the yield obtained in our larger cash investment.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $17.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.4 million in the same period of 2023. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by $14.6 million interest incurred on the 2029 Convertible Notes and the 2044 Notes, including amortization of deferred financing and debt issuance costs. This increase was partially offset by the extinguishment of our outstanding 2023 Convertible Notes and the repurchase of the 2025 Convertible Notes.
Fair value changes of derivative instruments, net. Fair value changes of derivative instruments, net for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $1.0 thousand and $88.0 thousand of expense, respectively. Derivative expense was principally related to foreign currency forward exchange contracts at OPKO Chile.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2024, resulted in $48.6 million of income compared to $11.7 million of expense for the 2023 period. This was primarily driven by changes in the fair value of our investment in GeneDx Holdings (as defined in Note 6 to our Quarterly Financials). During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded income of $35.4 million related to this investment, compared to an expense of $8.3 million in the prior-year period. Additionally, we realized a gain of $10.5 million from the sale of 1,386,929 shares of GeneDx during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Foreign currency income of $4.1 million was recorded for the 2024 period, compared with a $3.8 million expense in the 2023 period.
Income tax provision. Our income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $23.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively. This significant increase was primarily driven by a discrete expense related to the BioReference Transaction. While the U.S. federal statutory rate is 21%, our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 differed from this rate primarily due to the relative mix in earnings and losses in the U.S. versus foreign tax jurisdictions and operating results in tax jurisdictions which do not result in a tax benefit.
Loss from investments in investees. We have invested in certain early-stage companies that we perceive to have valuable proprietary technology and significant potential to create value for us as an equity holder. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting, resulting in the recording of our proportionate share of their losses until our share of their loss exceeds our investment. Until the investees’ technologies are commercialized, if ever, we anticipate they will report net losses Loss from investments in investees was $3.0 thousand and $20.0 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenue. Revenue from services for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by approximately $13.5 million, a decrease of 3.5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a $6.5 million reduction in clinical test reimbursement rates and an $7.0 million decrease in clinical test volume, of which $3.3 million was attributable to the BioReference Transaction.
Estimated collection amounts are subject to the complexities and ambiguities of billing, reimbursement regulations and claims processing, as well as considerations unique to Medicare and Medicaid programs, and require us to consider the potential for retroactive adjustments when estimating variable consideration in the recognition of revenue in the period the related services are rendered. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded $2.2 million and $19.8 million, respectively, of negative revenue adjustments due to changes in estimates of implicit price concessions for performance obligations satisfied in prior periods mainly due to the composition of patient pay mix.

Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $7.7 million, a decrease of 2.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to lower employee headcount, reflecting our continued cost-reduction initiatives implemented at BioReference, changes in the mix of testing ordered during the period, and by a decrease in consumption reflecting the timing of the BioReference Transaction.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $161.2 million and $154.0 million, respectively, representing a decrease of 4.7% from the prior period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to severance expense of $26.3 million, offset by a decrease in employee-related expenses, reflecting continued cost-reduction initiatives.
Research and development expenses. The following table summarizes the components of our research and development expenses:

The decrease in research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in employee-related expenses as a result of the continued cost-reduction initiatives implemented at BioReference.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $12.9 million and $15.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to the BioReference Transaction, which impacted the amount of amortizable intangible assets.
Gain on sale of assets. Gain on sale of assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $121.5 million due to the BioReference Transaction that closed during the third quarter of 2024.

Revenue from products. Revenue from products for nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $6.9 million or 5.5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. While we experienced higher sales volumes in 2024 compared to 2023, this increase was more than offset by unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations of approximately $6.7 million from our international operations, resulting in an overall decrease in revenue. Additionally, revenue from sales of Rayaldee for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $19.9 million compared to $21.7 million recorded in the same period in 2023.
Revenue from transfer of intellectual property and other. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other was $34.3 million compared to $165.9 million for the prior period. This decrease was primarily due to one-time milestone payments received in 2023, including a $90.0 million payment triggered by the FDA approval of NGENLA (Somatrogon), a $50.0 million payment from Merck for rights granted under the Merck Agreement (as defined and described in Note 14 to our Quarterly Financials), a $7.0 million payment from VFMCRP triggered by the German price approval for Rayaldee (as described in Note 14 to our Quarterly Financials) and a $2.5 million payment from Nicoya due to Nicoya’s submission of the investigational new drug application to China's Center for Drug Evaluation pursuant to the Nicoya Agreement (as described in Note 14 to our Quarterly Financials). For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from the transfer of intellectual property and other reflects $18.9 million in gross profit share and royalty payments for NGENLA (Somatrogon) and Pfizer's Genotropin® (Somatropin), compared with $11.8 million received in the same period in 2023. Furthermore, revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included $12.8 million from the BARDA Contract (as defined and described in Note 14 to our Quarterly Financials).
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $4.9 million, a decrease of 6.5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 which was primarily driven by favorable foreign exchange fluctuations. Despite increased sales volumes during the period, which typically increases cost of revenue, we were able to achieve this decrease due to a combination of factors. Favorable foreign currency fluctuations positively impacted cost of revenue, and we also realized a $2.6 million reduction in Rayaldee cost of revenue resulting from a lower standard cost per bottle.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $44.3 million and $41.9 million, respectively, an increase of 5.7% from the prior year period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to higher employee-related and professional expenses related to our international operations.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $73.2 million and $68.3 million, respectively, an increase of 7.1% from the prior year period. Research and development expenses include external and internal expenses, partially offset by third-party grants and funding arising from collaboration agreements. External expenses include clinical and non-clinical activities performed by contract research organizations, lab services, purchases of drug and diagnostic product materials and manufacturing development costs. We track external research and development expenses by individual program for phase 3 clinical trials for drug approval and premarket approval for diagnostics tests, if any. Internal expenses include employee-related expenses such as salaries, benefits and equity-based compensation expense. Other internal research and development expenses are incurred to support overall research and development activities and include expenses related to general overhead and facilities.

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, increased primarily to growth in our BARDA collaboration and higher employee-related expenses. These increases were partially offset by a one-time payment to Sanofi of $12.5 million made in 2023 pursuant to the Sanofi In-License Agreement, which was triggered as a result of the Merck Agreement, and lower costs related to Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) following the closure of open-label extension studies in countries where it has received marketing authorization.
Contingent consideration. Contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was zero, as compared to a $1.0 million reversal of expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to changes in assumptions regarding the timing of achievement of future milestones for OPKO Renal, and potential amounts payable to former stockholders of OPKO Renal in connection therewith, pursuant to our acquisition agreement in 2013.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $49.4 million for both for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Amortization expense reflects the amortization of acquired intangible assets with defined useful lives. Our indefinite lived IPR&D assets will not be amortized until the underlying development programs are completed. Upon obtaining regulatory approval by the FDA, the IPR&D assets will be accounted for as a finite-lived intangible asset and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of approximately 12 years.

Operating loss for our unallocated corporate operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $31.8 million and $31.8 million, respectively, and principally reflect general and administrative expenses incurred in connection with our corporate operations.
Other
Interest income. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $4.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The increase is driven by higher average cash and investment balances as a result of the cash received from the BioReference Transaction and the issuance of the 2044 Notes.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased to $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $10.1 million in the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by interest incurred on the 2029 Convertible Notes and the 2044 Senior Secured Notes, including amortization of deferred financing and debt issuance costs. This increase was partially offset by the extinguishment of our outstanding 2023 Convertible Notes in connection with their exchange for 2029 Convertible Notes and the repurchase of a portion of the 2025 Convertible Notes.
Fair value changes of derivative instruments, net. Fair value changes of derivative instruments, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $26.2 million and $0.8 million of expense, respectively. Derivative expense was principally related to the change in fair value on the 2029 Convertible Notes and on foreign currency forward exchange contracts at OPKO Chile.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $128.8 million of income, compared to $16.1 million of expense for the 2023 period. Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, included $118.6 million of income and $19.9 million of expense, respectively, as a result of the change in the fair value of our investment in GeneDx Holdings (as defined in Note 6 to our Quarterly Financials). Furthermore, the nine months ended September 30, 2023, reflected $8.5 million of income due to GeneDx Holdings reaching specific revenue targets for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Finally, a foreign currency gain of $0.1 million was recorded for the 2024 period, compared with a $1.8 million loss in the 2023 period.
Income tax provision. Our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was a $21.9 million and $10.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the relative mix in earnings and losses in the U.S. versus foreign tax jurisdictions, a discrete expense impact related to the BioReference Transaction, the impact of the payments under Merck Agreement, and operating results in tax jurisdictions which do not result in a tax benefit.
Loss from investments in investees. We have invested in certain early stage companies that we perceive to have valuable proprietary technology and significant potential to create value for us as an equityholder. We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting, resulting in the recording of our proportionate share of their losses until our share of their loss exceeds our investment. Until the investees’ technologies are commercialized, if ever, we anticipate they will report net losses. Loss from investments in investees was $7.0 thousand and $99.0 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On September 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $420.1 million. Cash used in operations of $139.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a $121.5 million gain on the sale of assets related to the BioReference Transaction and $94.6 million change in fair value from equity securities. We also incurred general and administrative expenses related to our corporate operations and research and development activities. Cash from investing activities was $236.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily reflected both the proceeds from the BioReference Transaction and the sale of equity securities, offset by capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 of $224.6 million primarily reflected net borrowings on our lines of credit, the issuance of our 2029 Convertible Notes, the issuance of the 2044 Notes, the redemption of the 2025 Notes, and repurchase of shares of our Common Stock. We have historically not generated sustained positive cash flow sufficient to offset our operating and other expenses, and our primary sources of cash have been from the public and private placement of equity and debt, as well as credit facilities available to us.
In September 2024, ModeX entered into the BARDA Amendment which increased funding by $26.9 million, for the ongoing development, manufacturing, and execution of a Phase 1 clinical trial for a next-generation MSTAR multispecific antibody with broad neutralizing activity against known variants of SARS-CoV-2. The BARDA Amendment also included BARDA's exercise of an option for the development of a multispecific protein antibody for influenza or another pathogen, with the additional funding allocated to cover the expanded work. These modifications increased the total value of the BARDA Contract to $110.0 million, with a potential value, of $205.0 million if BARDA exercises all options thereunder thereunder to expand MOdeX's services. The BARDA Contract covers a five-year period through February 2028. We expect this funding will support the development of a second novel multispecific antibody to SARS-CoV-2, from preclinical through Phase 1 trials, as well as preclinical work on gene-based expression of multispecific antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, including mRNA and/or DNA vectors. In addition, ModeX will begin development of influenza multispecifics with gene and/or protein delivery modalities. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount remaining to be funded by BARDA, which is subject to performance obligations and excluding unexercised contract options, is $96.0 million.
On September 16, 2024, the Company consummated the BioReference Transaction, pursuant to which Labcorp acquired select assets of the Company's subsidiary, BioReference. Labcorp paid to the Company aggregate consideration of $237.5 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Labcorp Asset Purchase Agreement. The assets acquired by Labcorp include BioReference's laboratory testing businesses focused on clinical diagnostics, reproductive health, and women's health across the United States, excluding New York and New Jersey operations.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold 1,386,929 shares of GeneDx Holdings common stock at various prices per share for approximately $46.7 million in aggregate proceeds. This sale reduced the Company's total ownership in GeneDx Holdings from 13.61% to 8.1% as of September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate value of our GeneDx Holdings investment was $92.2 million based on the closing market price of the GeneDx Holdings common stock.
On July 18, 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of our Common Stock. Under this program, we may repurchase shares through various methods, including open market purchases, block trades, privately negotiated transactions and accelerated share repurchases, as well as pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) of the Exchange Act, and otherwise in compliance with applicable laws. The timing and volume of repurchases will depend on market conditions, our capital management, investment opportunities, and other factors. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no set expiration date, and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at our discretion. In connection with this new authorization, the Company repurchased 14,893,026 shares for $23.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
On July 17, 2024, we completed a private offering of $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2044 Notes in accordance with the terms of the 2044 Note Purchase Agreement. The 2044 Notes are secured by the Company’s profit share payments from Pfizer, received under the Restated Pfizer Agreement. The 2044 Notes bear interest at the 3-month SOFR plus 7.5%, subject to a minimum interest rate of 4.0% per annum. The 2044 Notes mature in July 2044, with interest-only payments required for the first four years.
In January 2024, we completed a private offering of $230.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2029 Convertible 144A Notes in accordance with the terms of the 144A Note Purchase Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Initial Purchaser.
The Company received approximately $220.0 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes, after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses. The Company used approximately $50.0 million of the net proceeds to repurchase shares of our Common Stock from purchasers of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes in privately negotiated transactions at a purchase price equal to the closing sale price per share of Common Stock on January 4, 2024, which was $0.9067. Contemporaneously with the pricing of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions with certain holders of the Company’s outstanding 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 to repurchase, on the closing date, approximately $144.4 million aggregate principal amount of such notes. The Company effected such repurchases for cash, using $146.3 million of the net proceeds from the offering of the 2029 Convertible 144A Notes, following which only $170 thousand aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes remained outstanding.
Additionally, the Company issued and sold approximately $71.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Convertible Affiliate Notes pursuant to the terms of the Affiliate Note Purchase Agreement by and among the Company and the Affiliate Purchasers. Pursuant to the Affiliate Note Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and sold the 2029 Convertible Affiliate Notes to the Affiliate Purchasers in exchange for $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Convertible Notes, held by the Affiliate Purchasers, together with approximately $16.1 million of accrued but unpaid interest thereon. Following such exchange, no 2023 Convertible Notes remained outstanding.
Holders may convert their 2029 Convertible Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 15, 2028 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Common Stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “convertible note measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the convertible note measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Common Stock and the applicable conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events specified in the indenture governing the 2029 Convertible Notes. On or after September 15, 2028 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion of a note, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Common Stock, at our election.
The conversion rate is initially equal to 869.5652 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $1.15 per share of Common Stock). The conversion rate for the 2029 Convertible Notes is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.
On March 8, 2023, ModeX, the Company (with respect to certain sections), and Merck entered into the Merck Agreement pursuant to which Merck obtained a license to certain patent rights and know-how in connection with the development of ModeX’s preclinical nanoparticle vaccine candidate targeting the Epstein -Barr Virus.
ModeX and Merck have established a strategic collaboration with a detailed research plan to guide the development of such a vaccine or related product. This plan includes the creation of a joint steering committee and the potential use of third-party contract development and manufacturing organization carry out such activities unless otherwise agreed. Merck will reimburse ModeX for development costs incurred as part of this research plan. To date, we have incurred $24.5 million of development costs related to the Epstein -Barr Virus, for which Merck has provided reimbursement in full.
As of September 30, 2024, the total commitments under our lines of credit with financial institutions in Chile and Spain were $30.0 million, of which $11.7 million was drawn as of September 30, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate on these lines of credit was approximately 5.4%. These lines of credit are short-term and are used primarily as a source of working capital. The highest aggregate principal balance at any time outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $23.6 million. We intend to continue to draw under these lines of credit as needed. There is no assurance that these lines of credit or other funding sources will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.
Separately, on September 16, 2024, BioReference fully repaid its obligations and terminated the Credit Agreement as amended and restated. BioReference paid approximately $9.7 million to settle its obligations, incurring no prepayment premium or penalty.
In connection with our agreements with Merck, Pfizer, VFMCRP, Nicoya and CAMP4, we are eligible to receive various milestone payments and royalty considerations. Under the terms of the Merck Agreement, we received an initial payment of $50.0 million and are also eligible to receive up to an additional $872.5 million upon the achievement of certain commercial and development milestones under several indications. We are also eligible to receive tiered royalty payments ranging from high single digits to low double digits upon achievement of certain sales targets of the Product (as defined in the Merck Agreement). Under the terms of the Restated Pfizer Agreement, we have received or are eligible to receive up to an additional $275.0 million upon the achievement of certain regulatory milestones, including $90 million triggered by the FDA approval in the United States and $85 million due to the commencement of sales of NGENLA (Somatrogon) in Europe and Japan, which we received in 2022. In addition, we are eligible to receive regional, tiered gross profit sharing for both Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) and Pfizer’s Genotropin®. Under the terms of the VFMCRP Agreement, we are entitled to receive up to an additional $15 million in regulatory milestones and $200 million in milestone payments tied to the launch, pricing and sales of Rayaldee, including a $7 million regulatory milestone payment we recorded in the first quarter of 2023 triggered by the German price approval for Rayaldee and $3 million regulatory milestone payment we recognized in 2022 following the first sale of Rayaldee in Europe. In addition, we are eligible to receive tiered, double-digit royalty payments. Under the terms of the Nicoya Agreement, we received an initial upfront payment of $5 million and are eligible to receive an aggregate of $5 million tied to the first anniversary of the effective date of the Nicoya Agreement, of which we have received $2.5 million. Furthermore, we received the additional $2.5 million upon Nicoya’s submission of the investigational new drug application to the Center for Drug Evaluation of China in March 2023. We are also eligible to receive up to an additional aggregate amount of $115 million upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and sales-based milestones by Nicoya for the Nicoya Product in the Nicoya Territory. We are also eligible to receive tiered, double digit royalty payments at rates in the low double digits on net product sales within the Nicoya Territory and in the Nicoya Field. Under the terms of the CAMP4 Agreement, we received an initial upfront payment of $1.5 million.
We believe that the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on hand at September 30, 2024, which includes the amounts received from the sale of the 2044 Notes and the BioReference Transaction, are sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operations and debt service beyond the next 12 months. We based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong or are subject to change, and we may be required to use our available cash resources sooner than we currently expect. If we acquire additional assets or companies, accelerate our product development programs or initiate additional clinical trials, we will need additional funds. Our future cash requirements, and the timing of those requirements, will depend on a number of factors, including the approval and success of our products and products in development, particularly our long acting Somatrogon (hGH-CTP) for which we have received approval in over 50 markets, including the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia and Canada, the commercial success of Rayaldee, BioReference’s financial performance, possible acquisitions and dispositions, the continued progress of research and development of our product candidates, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and regulatory approvals, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending, and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of competitive products, the availability of financing, our success in developing markets for our product candidates and results of government investigations, payor claims, existing legal proceedings (including the ITA litigation) and those that may arise in the future. We have historically not generated sustained positive cash flow and if we are not able to secure additional funding when needed, we may have to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our clinical trials or research and development programs or possible acquisitions or reduce our marketing or sales efforts or cease operations.
The following table provides information as of September 30, 2024, with respect to the amounts and timing of our known contractual obligation payments due by period.

Contingent consideration that includes payments upon achievement of certain milestones including meeting development milestones such as the completion of successful clinical trials, NDA approvals by the FDA and revenue milestones upon the achievement of certain revenue targets all of which are anticipated to be paid within the next seven years and are payable in either shares of our Common Stock or cash, at our option, and that may aggregate up to $125.0 million. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates described in our Form 10-K that have had a material impact on our Quarterly Financials and related notes.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting standards yet to be adopted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (iii) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances disclosures for significant segment expenses for all public entities required to report segment information in accordance with ASC 280. ASC 280 requires a public entity to report for each reportable segment a measure of segment profit or loss that its chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with updates to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk – We operate globally, and we are subject to foreign exchange risk in our commercial operations as portions of our revenues are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily those for the Chilean Peso and the Euro.
From time to time, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts. Certain firmly committed transactions may be hedged with foreign exchange forward contracts. As exchange rates fluctuate, gains and losses on the exposed transactions are partially offset by gains and losses related to the hedging contracts. Both the exposed transactions and the hedging contracts are translated and fair valued, respectively, at current spot rates, with gains and losses included in earnings. We do not enter into foreign exchange or other derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
Our derivative activities, which consist of foreign exchange forward contracts, are intended to economically hedge forecasted cash flows that are exposed to foreign currency risk. The foreign exchange forward contracts generally require us to exchange local currencies for foreign currencies based on pre-established exchange rates at the contracts’ respective maturity dates. As exchange rates change, gains and losses on these contracts are generated based on the change in the exchange rates that are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and offset the impact of the change in exchange rates on the foreign currency cash flows that are hedged. If the counterparties to the exchange contracts do not fulfill their obligations to deliver the contracted currencies, our results of operations could be negatively impacted due to effectively unhedged currency related fluctuations. Our foreign exchange forward contracts primarily hedge exchange rates on the Chilean Peso to the U.S. dollar. If Chilean Pesos were to strengthen or weaken in relation to the U.S. dollar, our loss or gain on hedged foreign currency cash-flows would be offset by the derivative contracts, with a net effect of zero.
Approximately 22.3% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar (USD). This compares to 30.7% for the same period in 2023. Our financial statements are reported in USD; therefore, fluctuations in exchange rates affect the translation of foreign-denominated revenue and expenses. In the first nine months of 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, our most significant currency exchange rate exposures were to the Euro and the Chilean Peso. Gross accumulated currency translation adjustments, recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, totaled $36.2 million and 34.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. For information on such open foreign exchange forward contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis—Results of Operations— Foreign Currency Exchange Rates.”
We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments or purchasing hedging instruments or “other than trading” instruments that are likely to expose us to significant market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price, or equity price risk.
Interest Rate Risk – Our exposure to interest rate risk relates to our cash and investments and to our borrowings. We generally maintain an investment portfolio of money market funds and marketable securities. The securities in our investment portfolio are not leveraged and are subject to minimal interest rate risk due to their very short-term nature. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments, we do not believe that a change in interest rates would have a significant negative impact on the value of our investment portfolio except for reduced income resulting from declining interest rates.
At September 30, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $420.1 million. The weighted average interest rate related to our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was approximately 3.1%. As of September 30, 2024, the principal outstanding balances under our Chilean and Spanish lines of credit was $11.7 million in the aggregate at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 5.4%.
Our outstanding convertible senior notes have fixed rates of interest; therefore, we are not exposed to interest rate risk on those instruments.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we may invest our excess cash in debt instruments of the U.S. Government and its agencies, bank obligations, repurchase agreements and high-quality corporate issuers, and money market funds that invest in such debt instruments, and, by policy, restrict our exposure to any single corporate issuer by imposing concentration limits. To minimize the exposure due to adverse shifts in interest rates, we maintain investments at an average maturity of generally less than three months.
