Fueled by our deep scientific expertise built over decades of research, we are advancing a pipeline of therapeutic candidates for a number of indications and novel targets for which our ability to integrate scientific insights around neurological dysfunction and the biology of misfolded proteins can be leveraged. Our wholly-owned programs include birtamimab for the potential treatment of AL amyloidosis, and a portfolio of programs for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease including PRX012, which targets amyloid beta (Aβ), and PRX123, a novel dual Aβ-tau vaccine. Our partnered programs include prasinezumab, in collaboration with Roche for the potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease and other related synucleinopathies, and programs that target tau (BMS-986446, formerly PRX005), TDP-43, and an undisclosed target (PRX019) in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and other neurodegenerative diseases, respectively. We are also entitled to certain potential milestone payments pursuant to our share purchase agreement with Novo Nordisk pertaining to our ATTR amyloidosis business.

Previous wording
Significant judgment is required to apply the authoritative accounting guidance at the outset of a collaboration arrangement, and over time. Our License Agreement with Roche and our Collaboration Agreement with BMS contain multiple performance obligations. In the identification of performance obligations, there is judgment involved in identifying the promised goods or services in the collaboration agreement, determining whether these are distinct in the context of the contract, and determining if these represent a performance obligation to a customer. These determinations are highly subjective and can differ between arrangement based on specific contractual terms. The identified performance obligations will impact most significantly the timing of revenue recognition, and is a point-in-time assessment performed at the outset of a collaboration arrangement. We account for the individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. Factors considered in the determination of whether the license performance obligations are distinct included, among other things, the research and development capabilities of each of Roche and BMS and their respective sublicense rights, and for the remaining performance obligations the fact that they are not proprietary and can be and have been provided by other vendors. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.

At the inception of each arrangement that includes developmental, regulatory or commercial milestone payments, we evaluate whether achieving the milestones is considered probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method, which includes judgment. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the value of the associated milestone (such as a regulatory submission by Prothena) is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within our control, such as approvals from regulators or where attainment of the specified event is dependent on the development activities of a third party, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received or the specified event occurs. In general, we consider such milestone payments as variable consideration with constraint and therefore we recognize the revenue from such milestone payments as collaboration revenue at point in time when we can conclude it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in future periods.

We expense R&D costs as incurred. R&D expenses include, but are not limited to, salary and benefits, share-based compensation, clinical trial activities, drug development and manufacturing prior to FDA approval and third-party service fees, including clinical research organizations, investigative sites and contract manufacturing organizations. A significant portion of our research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations are external costs, which we track on a program-specific basis when the applicable program was separately tracked in preclinical development. These research and development expenses include the conduct of preclinical studies and clinical trials, contract manufacturing activities and consulting services. The measurement of these research and development cost and/or effort can impact the research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and of prepaid assets and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The level of judgment required to estimate research and development expenses varies based on the nature of the services being performed and the underlying support obtained. We recognize costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials, based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided to us by our vendors on their actual costs incurred. We recognize costs for contract manufacturing based on evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks. As such, expense accruals related to clinical trialsand contract manufacturing are recognized based on our estimate of the degree of completion of the events specified in the specific clinical study or trial contract or drug development and manufacturing contract, respectively. We estimate the amount of work completed through discussions with internal personnel and external service providers as to the progress or stage of completion of the services and the agreed-upon fee to be paid for such services. As actual costs become known, we adjust our accrued estimates. These estimates are based on certain assumptions and inputs that can be challenging to assess, including the evaluation of the status of and costs incurred for manufacturing activities, outsourced research and development programs and project milestones achieved. Although we do not expect our estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, incomplete or inaccurate data from vendors could impact our understanding of the status and timing of services performed which could result in us reporting expenses that are too high or too low in any particular period.

As of December 31, 2023, we had $618.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. Although we believe, based on our current business plans, that our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our obligations for at least the next twelve months, we anticipate that we will require additional capital in the future in order to continue the research and development of our drug candidates. Additionally, in order to develop and obtain regulatory approval for our potential products we will need to raise substantial additional funds. We expect to raise any such additional funds through public or private equity or debt financings, colla borative agreements with corporate partners, or other arrangements, including pursuant to the December 2021 Distribution Agreement (See Note 8, “Shareholders’ Equity” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information). We cannot assume that such additional financings will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and such financings may only be available on terms dilutive to our shareholders.
