Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships | Collaborative arrangements and strategic partnerships To date, the Company’s service and collaborative arrangement revenue has been primarily generated from collaboration arrangements with BMS, Regeneron, and Novo, each as further described below. Bristol Myers Squibb BMS Collaboration Agreement In March 2013, bluebird bio entered into a Master Collaboration Agreement (the “BMS Collaboration Agreement”) with Celgene (now BMS following its acquisition of Celgene in November 2019) to discover, develop and commercialize potentially disease-altering gene therapies in oncology and a Platform Technology Sublicense Agreement (the “Sublicense Agreement”) with BMS pursuant to which bluebird bio obtained a sublicense to certain intellectual property from BMS, originating under BMS’s license from Baylor College of Medicine, for use in the collaboration. Under the terms of the BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company received an up-front, non-refundable, non-creditable payment of $75.0 million. The Company was responsible for conducting discovery, research, and development activities through completion of Phase 1 clinical trials, if any, during the initial term of the BMS Collaboration Agreement, or three years. Subsequently, bluebird bio and BMS executed various amendments, summarized as follows. These agreements were assumed by the Company in connection with the separation. In June 2015, both parties amended and restated the BMS Collaboration Agreement (the “Amended BMS Collaboration Agreement”) to narrow the focus of the collaboration to exclusively work on anti-B-cell maturation antigen (“BCMA”) product candidates for a new three-year term. In connection with the Amended BMS Collaboration Agreement, the Company received an up-front, non-refundable, non-creditable payment of $25.0 million to fund research and development under the collaboration. On a product candidate-by-product candidate basis, up through a specified period following enrollment of the first patient in an initial Phase 1 clinical trial for such product candidate, BMS had an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize such product. Following BMS’s license of each product candidate, the Company is entitled to elect to co-develop and co-promote each product candidate in the United States. BMS Ide-cel related agreements In February 2016, BMS exercised its option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize ide-cel, the first product candidate under the Amended BMS Collaboration Agreement, pursuant to an executed license agreement (“Ide-cel License Agreement”) and paid the Company the associated $10.0 million option fee. Pursuant to the Ide-cel License Agreement, BMS was responsible for development and related funding of ide-cel after the substantial completion of the Phase 1 clinical trial. The Company was responsible for the manufacture of vector and associated payload throughout development and, upon BMS’s request, throughout commercialization, the costs of which were reimbursable by BMS in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement, as further described below. BMS was responsible for the manufacture of drug product throughout development and commercialization. Under the Ide-cel License Agreement, the Company was eligible to receive (i) U.S. milestones of up to $85.0 million for the first indication to be addressed by ide-cel and royalties for U.S. sales of ide-cel and (ii) ex-U.S. milestones of up to $55.0 million and royalties for ex-U.S. sales of ide-cel. In March 2018, the Company elected to co-develop and co-promote ide-cel within the United States pursuant to the execution of the Amended and Restated Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement (“Ide-cel CCPS”), which replaced the Ide-cel License Agreement. As a result of executing the Ide-cel CCPS, the Company will share equally in all profits and losses relating to developing, commercializing and manufacturing ide-cel within the United States and has the right to participate in the development and promotion of ide-cel in the United States. BMS is responsible for the costs incurred to manufacture vector and associated payload for use outside of the United States, plus a markup. As a result of electing to co-develop and co-promote ide-cel within the United States, the milestones and royalties payable under the Ide-cel License Agreement were adjusted. Under the Ide-cel CCPS, the Company was eligible to receive a $10.0 million milestone related to the development of ide-cel in the United States and, for the first indication to be addressed by ide-cel, ex-U.S. regulatory and commercial milestones of up to $60.0 million. Under the Ide-cel CCPS, the $10.0 million milestone related to the development of ide-cel in the United States was achieved in the second quarter of 2019 and subsequently paid by BMS. BMS bb21217 License Agreement In September 2017, BMS exercised its option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize bb21217, an investigational BCMA-targeted CAR T cell therapy, the second product candidate under the Amended BMS Collaboration Agreement, pursuant to an executed license agreement (“bb21217 License Agreement”) and paid the Company an option fee of $15.0 million. Pursuant to the bb21217 License Agreement, BMS is responsible for development and related funding of bb21217 after the substantial completion of the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial. In 2019, the parties amended the protocol for the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial to enroll additional patients for which the Company will be reimbursed based upon an agreed-upon amount per patient. Under the bb21217 License Agreement, the Company is eligible to receive U.S. milestones of up to $85.0 million for the first indication to be addressed by bb21217 and royalties for U.S. sales of bb21217. Additionally, the Company was eligible to receive ex-U.S. milestones of up to $55.0 million and royalties for ex-U.S. sales of bb21217. May 2020 Amendments to Ide-cel and bb21217 agreements In May 2020, the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Co-Development, Co-Promote and Profit Share Agreement (as amended, the "Amended Ide-cel CCPS") and the Second Amended and Restated License Agreement ("Amended bb21217 License Agreement" and, collectively with the Amended Ide-cel CCPS, the “May 2020 Amendments”), which replaced the bb21217 License Agreement, was executed. Under the Amended Ide-cel CCPS, the parties will continue to share equally in all profits and losses related to developing, commercializing and manufacturing ide-cel within the United States. However, the Amended Ide-cel CCPS changed the Company’s responsibilities with respect to manufacturing activities. Under the Amended Ide-cel CCPS, BMS assumed the contract manufacturing agreements related to ide-cel adherent lentiviral vector. Over time, BMS is also assuming responsibility for manufacturing ide-cel suspension lentiviral vector outside of the United States, with the Company responsible for manufacturing ide-cel suspension lentiviral vector in the United States. In June 2023, the Company assigned its Commercial Supply Agreement with Resilience to BMS, resulting in BMS assuming responsibility for all ide-cel suspension lentiviral vector manufacturing. The May 2020 Amendments relieved BMS of its obligations to pay the Company for future ex-U.S. milestones and royalties on ex-U.S. sales for each of ide-cel and bb21217 in exchange for an up-front, non-refundable, non-creditable payment of $200.0 million, which represents the aggregate of the probability-weighted, net present value of the future ex-U.S. milestones and royalties on ex-U.S. sales for each of ide-cel and bb21217. In addition, the parties are released from future exclusivity related to BCMA-directed T cell therapies. There are no remaining milestones or royalties under the Amended Ide-cel CCPS. In March 2021, the FDA approved the marketing of Ide-cel as Abecma in the United States for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma after four or more prior lines of therapy, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Under the Amended Ide-cel CCPS, BMS is primarily responsible for the commercialization of Abecma and the Company has concluded BMS is the principal for such activities for purposes of applying its ASC 808 accounting policy to the Amended Ide-cel CCPS. As previously described, under the collaboration arrangement with BMS, the Company had an option to co-develop and co-promote bb21217 within the United States. However, following completion of the CRB-402 clinical trial, in January 2022 the Company, along with BMS, evaluated its plans with respect to bb21217. Based in part on the strength of Abecma clinical data and commercial sales to date, the Company and BMS elected to discontinue development of bb21217 and, as such, the Company did not exercise its option to co-develop and co-promote bb21217 within the United States. The Company is still eligible to receive U.S. milestones and royalties for U.S. sales of bb21217, if further developed by BMS. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the collaboration agreement, because it did not exercise its option to co-develop and co-promote bb21217, the Company received an additional fee in the amount of $10.0 million from BMS during the second quarter of 2022. Accounting Analysis Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement Prior to the Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement, the Company had constrained all variable consideration related to the remaining ex-U.S. milestones and royalties for ex-U.S. sales under the Ide-cel CCPS and bb21217 License Agreement, as these milestones and royalties for ex-U.S sales were not considered to be probable. As a result of the Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement, the uncertainty associated with the previously constrained variable consideration for future ex-U.S. milestones and royalties on ex-U.S. sales for each of ide-cel and bb21217 was resolved in exchange for an up-front, non-refundable, non-creditable payment of $200.0 million. The Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement were negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective and, as such, the Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement were combined for accounting purposes and treated as a single arrangement. At the time of execution of the Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement, there was one remaining performance obligation under each agreements: a combined performance obligation of the ide-cel license and ide-cel vector manufacturing through development; and a combined performance obligation of the bb21217 license and bb21217 vector manufacturing through development, neither of which were fully satisfied. The Company concluded each performance obligation was distinct from each other as BMS can benefit from each license and associated manufacturing services separately and the respective licenses and manufacturing services do not modify one another and are not interdependent. Accordingly, the Company continues to account for each performance obligation separately. The Company allocated the $200.0 million up-front payment received in connection with the Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement to the remaining performance obligations described above based on the general allocation principles of Topic 606. The Company considered that a portion of the $200.0 million was specifically attributable to each remaining performance obligation as the amount represents the aggregate of the probability-weighted, net present value of the future ex-U.S. milestones and royalties on ex-U.S. sales for each of ide-cel and bb21217 and that each respective portion therefore (i) relates specifically to the Company's satisfaction of each of its remaining performance obligations and (ii) is representative of the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for satisfying the respective performance obligations. As such, the Company concluded that the portion of the $200.0 million up-front payment specifically attributable to each of ide-cel and bb21217 should be allocated to each respective performance obligation pursuant to the variable consideration allocation exception. The Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement represent a contract modification to an existing contract under Topic 606 resulting in a reduction in scope of the Company's responsibilities under each performance obligation described above. This resulted in a change in the overall transaction price under the arrangement. The Amended Ide-cel CCPS and Amended bb21217 License Agreement did not include any additional promised goods and services. The remaining goods and services to be provided to fully satisfy each performance obligation described above are not distinct from those previously provided with respect to each performance obligation. Therefore, for each performance obligation, the remaining goods and services are part of a single performance obligation that is partially satisfied at the date of the contract modification. Accordingly, the effect that the contract modification had on the transaction price and the measure of progress toward complete satisfaction of each respective performance obligation has been recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis. The accounting for any previously satisfied performance obligations as of the contract modification date are not affected by the modification. Ide-cel research and development services The Company allocated $40.9 million of the ide-cel transaction price to the ide-cel research and development services. The research and development performance obligation was satisfied prior to the May 2020 Amendments and, as a result, the accounting for this previously satisfied performance obligation was not affected by the modification. The Company recognized no revenue related to ide-cel research and development services for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. Ide-cel license and manufacturing services The Company allocated $347.0 million of the ide-cel transaction price to the combined unit of accounting which consists of the license and manufacture of vectors and associated payload for incorporation into ide-cel through development. As of December 31, 2023, there was no unsatisfied transaction price and the remaining deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020 related to the performance obligation was recognized when the performance obligation was satisfied during the first quarter of 2021, upon Abecma commercial approval. The following table summarizes the net collaboration revenue recognized or expense incurred for the joint ide-cel development efforts in the U.S. under ASC 808, including revenue or expense related to the combined performance obligation for license and manufacturing of ide-cel in the U.S. for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands): For the years ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 ASC 808 ide-cel license and manufacturing revenue - U.S. (1)(2) $ — $ — $ 533 ASC 808 ide-cel license and manufacturing expense - U.S. (1) $ — $ — $ — (1) As noted above, the calculation of collaborative arrangement activity to be recognized for joint ide-cel efforts in the United States is performed on a quarterly basis. The calculation is independent of previous activity, which may result in fluctuations between revenue and expense recognition period over period, depending on the varying extent of effort performed by each party during the period. Abecma Subsequent to the satisfaction of the Company’s combined performance obligation license and manufacturing of ide-cel in the U.S. under the collaboration agreement with BMS, the Company shares equally in the profit and loss related to the development and commercialization of ide-cel in the United States (marketed as Abecma ). The Company has no remaining financial rights with respect to the development or commercialization of ide-cel outside of the United States. The Company accounts for its collaborative arrangement efforts with BMS in the United States within the scope of ASC 808 given that both parties are active participants in the activities and both parties are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activities. The calculation of collaborative activity to be recognized for joint Abecma efforts in the United States is performed on a quarterly basis and is independent of previous quarterly activity. This may result in fluctuations between revenue and expense recognition period over period, depending on the varying extent of effort performed by each party during the period. The Company recognizes revenue related to the combined unit of accounting for the ex-U.S. license and lentiviral vector manufacturing services under Topic 606. Ide-cel U.S. Share of Collaboration Profit or Loss The U.S. commercial and development activities under the Amended Ide-Cel CCPS are within the scope of ASC 808. On a quarterly basis, the Company determines its share of collaboration profit or loss for commercial activities (i.e., commercial sales of Abecma by BMS). The Company’s share of any collaboration profit for commercial activities is recognized as collaborative arrangement revenue and its share of any collaboration loss for commercial activity is recognized as an operating expense and classified as share of collaboration loss on the Company's consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company is also responsible for equally sharing in the ongoing ide-cel research and development activities being conducted by BMS in the United States as BMS continues conducting ongoing clinical studies to support the use of Abecma in earlier lines of therapy. The net amount owed to BMS for research and development activities determined on a quarterly basis is classified as research and development expense on the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. If BMS is obligated to reimburse the Company because the Company’s research and development costs exceeds BMS’ research and development costs in a particular quarterly period, the net amount is recorded as collaborative arrangement revenue. The following tables summarize the components utilized in the Company’s quarterly calculation of collaborative arrangement revenue or share of collaboration loss under the BMS collaboration arrangement for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands). The amounts reported for these periods represent the Company’s share of BMS’ Abecma product revenue, cost of goods sold, and selling costs, along with reimbursement by BMS of commercial costs incurred by the Company, and exclude expenses related to ongoing development, which are separately reflected in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss as described below.

The calculation is independent of previous activity, which may result in fluctuations between revenue and expense recognition period over period. (2) In March 2021, Abecma (idecabtagene vicleucel; ide-cel) was approved by the FDA in the United States for the treatment of adults with multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior lines of therapy, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. The first sale of Abecma occurred in the second quarter of 2021. Collaborative arrangement revenue net of share of collaboration loss was $50.0 million, $3.1 million and $9.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The following table summarizes the amounts associated with the research activities under the collaboration included in research and development expense or recognized as collaborative arrangement revenue for each quarter during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 (in thousands): Three months ended Year ended Abecma U.S. Collaboration Net R&D Expenses March 31, 2023 June 30, 2023 September 30. 2023 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2023 2seventy's obligation for its share of BMS research and development expenses $ (9,461) $ (7,195) $ (6,980) $ (7,237) $ (30,873) Reimbursement from BMS for 2seventy research and development expenses 4,590 1,543 860 151 7,144 Net R&D expense (1) $ (4,871) $ (5,652) $ (6,120) $ (7,086) $ (23,729) Three months ended Year ended Abecma U.S. Collaboration Net R&D Expenses March 31, 2022 June 30, 2022 September 30. 2022 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2022 2seventy's obligation for its share of BMS research and development expenses $ (8,118) $ (7,418) $ (10,672) $ (8,197) $ (34,405) Reimbursement from BMS for 2seventy research and development expenses 1,225 1,955 1,420 1,960 6,560 Net R&D expense (1) $ (6,893) $ (5,463) $ (9,252) $ (6,237) $ (27,845) Three months ended Year ended Abecma U.S. Collaboration Net R&D Expenses March 31, 2021 June 30, 2021 September 30. 2021 December 31, 2021 December 31, 2021 2seventy's obligation for its share of BMS research and development expenses $ (22,110) $ (11,559) $ (9,398) $ (8,780) $ (51,847) Reimbursement from BMS for 2seventy research and development expenses 4,752 2,366 3,738 945 11,801 Net R&D expense (1) $ (17,358) $ (9,193) $ (5,660) $ (7,835) $ (40,046) (1) As noted above, the calculation is performed on a quarterly basis and consists of 2seventy's obligation for its share of BMS research and development expenses, offset by reimbursement from BMS for 2seventy research and development expenses. Ide-cel ex-U.S. Service Revenue The Company accounts for any ex-U.S. activities under the Amended Ide-cel CCPS pursuant to ASC 606. The following table summarizes the revenue recognized related to ide-cel ex-U.S. activities for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 (in thousands). These amounts are reflected in service revenue in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive loss: For the years ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 ASC 606 ide-cel license and manufacturing revenue – ex-U.S. (included as a component of service revenue) (1) $ 14,751 $ 13,226 $ 16,895 (1) These amounts include reimbursements from BMS to the Company for the Company’s ex-U.S. quality and other manufacturing costs associated with the manufacture of Abecma inventory. bb21217 research and development services The Company allocated $5.4 million of the bb21217 transaction price to the research and development services. The research and development performance obligation was satisfied prior to the May 2020 amendments, and as a result, the accounting for this previously satisfied performance obligation was not affected by the modification. The Company recognized no revenue related to bb21217 research and developments services for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021. bb21217 license and manufacturing services The Company allocated $35.5 million of the bb21217 transaction price to its combined performance obligation representing the bb21217 license and vector manufacturing services. Of this amount, $1.8 million was never received by the Company as it represented the estimated reimbursement from BMS for the manufacture of vectors and associated payload through development. As noted above, following completion of the CRB-402 clinical trial for bb21217, in January 2022 the Company, along with BMS, evaluated its plans with respect to bb21217. Based in part on the strength of Abecma clinical data and commercial sales to date, the Company and BMS elected to discontinue development of bb21217 and, as such, the Company did not exercise its option to co-develop and co-promote bb21217 within the United States. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the collaboration agreement, because it did not exercise its option to co-develop and co-promote bb21217, the Company received an additional fee in the amount of $10.0 million from BMS during the second quarter of 2022. Pursuant to the variable consideration allocation exception, the $10.0 million of consideration received was allocated to the combined performance obligation for the bb21217 license and vector manufacturing services through development, described above. In December 2022, BMS formally notified the Company that its license and vector manufacturing services for bb21217 will no longer be required, thus releasing it from the combined performance obligation for the bb21217 license and vector manufacturing services through development. As a result, the Company recognized the remaining deferred revenue of $35.8 million as a component of service revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. Contract assets and liabilities – ide-cel and bb21217 The Company receives payments from its collaborative partners based on billing schedules established in each contract. Up-front payments and fees are recorded as deferred revenue upon receipt or when due until such time as the Company satisfies its performance obligations under these arrangements. A contract asset is a conditional right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The following table presents changes in the balances of the Company’s BMS receivables and contract liabilities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands): Balance at December 31, Additions Deductions Balance at December 31, Receivables $ 4,537 $ 46,212 $ (50,749) $ — Contract liabilities: Deferred revenue $ — $ — $ — $ — The decrease in the receivables balance for the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 is driven by amounts owed to the Company from BMS in the period under the settlement terms of the collaboration agreement, offset by amounts collected from BMS in the period. Regeneron Regeneron Collaboration Agreement In August 2018, bluebird bio entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “Regeneron Collaboration Agreement”) with Regeneron pursuant to which the parties will apply their respective technology platforms to the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel immune cell therapies for cancer. As noted above, the agreement was attributed to the Company in connection with the separation. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties will leverage Regeneron’s proprietary platform technologies for the discovery and characterization of fully human antibodies, as well as T cell receptors directed against tumor-specific proteins and peptides and the Company will contribute its field-leading expertise in gene therapy. In accordance with the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement, the parties jointly selected six initial targets and intend to equally share the costs of research up to the point of submitting an IND application for a potential gene therapy product directed to a particular target. Additional targets may be selected to add to or replace any of the initial targets during the five-year research collaboration term as agreed to by the parties. Regeneron will accrue a certain number of option rights exercisable against targets as the parties reach certain milestones under the terms of the agreement. Upon the acceptance of an IND for the first product candidate directed to a target, Regeneron will have the right to exercise an option for co-development/co-commercialization of product candidates directed to such target on a worldwide or applicable opt-in territory basis, with certain exceptions. Where Regeneron chooses to opt-in, the parties will share equally in the costs of development and commercialization, and will share equally in any profits or losses therefrom in applicable opt-in territories. Outside of the applicable opt-in territories, the target becomes a licensed target and Regeneron would be eligible to receive, with respect to any resulting product, milestone payments of up to $130.0 million per product and royalties on net sales outside of the applicable opt-in territories at a rate ranging from the mid-single digits to low-double digits. A target would also become a licensed target in the event Regeneron does not have an option to such target, or Regeneron does not exercise its option with respect to such target. Either party may terminate a given research program directed to a particular target for convenience, and the other party may elect to continue such research program at its expense, receiving applicable cross-licenses. The terminating party will receive licensed product royalties and milestone payments on the potential applicable gene therapy products. Where the Company terminates a given research program for convenience, and Regeneron elects to continue such research program, the parties will enter into a transitional services agreement. Under certain conditions, following its opt-in, Regeneron may terminate a given collaboration program and the Company may elect to continue the development and commercialization of the applicable potential gene therapy products as licensed products. First Amendment to the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement In January 2023, 2seventy bio and Regeneron announced an amendment to the Regeneron Collaboration Agreement (the “Amendment”), to amend and extend their current agreement, applying their respective technology platforms to the discovery, development and commercialization of novel immune cell therapies for cancer. Under the Amendment, the parties have identified four research targets to advance the next stage of research therapies. The parties will continue sharing costs for these activities in a manner largely consistent with the existing agreement, with Regeneron now covering 75% of eligible late-stage research costs to study combinations and 100% of the costs for the arms of clinical studies that include Regeneron agents through regulatory approval of two of the four targets. For other programs, cost-sharing will follow the existing 50/50 cost sharing agreement. Additionally, Regeneron will make one-time milestone payments for each of the first Clinical Candidate directed to MUC16 and the first Clinical Candidate directed to a selected early stage research target to achieve the applicable milestones. Clinical Candidate milestone events and payments include: • $2.0 million payment from Regeneron for Development Candidate Nomination; • $3.0 million payment from Regeneron for IND Acceptance; and • $5.0 million payment from Regeneron for the Earlier of (i) last patient dosed with a Monotherapy Regimen and (ii) dosing of the 10th patient in a Clinical Tria |
