License Agreement Relating to AAV Capsids

In 2024, the Company entered into a license agreement with a third party for certain of the Company’s AAV capsids. This agreement had an option to exercise before the terms of the agreement were activated. In June 2025, the third party exercised its option as per the agreement with a payment of $0.4 million included as license and other revenues in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company assessed the nature of the promised license to determine whether the license has significant stand-alone functionality and evaluated whether such functionality can be retained without ongoing activities by the Company and determined that the license has significant stand-alone functionality. Furthermore, the Company has no ongoing activities associated with the license to support or maintain the license’s utility. Based on this, the Company determined that the pattern of transfer of control of the license to the third party was at a point in time.

The transaction price of the contract includes (i) $0.4 million of fixed consideration, (ii) up to $24.0 million of variable consideration in the form of event-based milestone payments, (iii) up to $45.0 million of variable consideration in the form of sales-based milestone payments, and (iv) low single-digit royalty-based payments based on net sales. The Company is obligated to pay a portion of milestone payments and royalties on net sales received from the third party to UNC. The event-based milestone payments are based on certain development and regulatory events occurring. The Company evaluated whether the milestone conditions have been achieved and if it is probable that a significant cumulative revenue reversal would not occur before recognizing the associated revenue. The Company determined that these milestone payments are not within the Company’s control or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, and are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. Accordingly, the Company has fully constrained the $24.0 million in event-based milestone payments until such time that it is probable that a significant cumulative revenue reversal would not occur. The sales-based milestone payments and other royalty-based payments are based on a level of sales for which the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate. The Company will recognize revenue for these payments at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied or partially satisfied. To date, the Company has not recognized any sales-based or royalty revenue resulting from this licensing arrangement.

Under this arrangement, the Company recognized $0.4 million in revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and no revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company does not have any contract assets or contract liabilities as a result of this transaction.

Under the sublicense agreement, Taysha received worldwide exclusive rights to intellectual property and know-how relating to the research, development, and manufacture of the potential gene therapy, which the Company had referred to as ABO-202. Under the inventory purchase agreement, the Company sold to Taysha certain inventory and other items related to ABO-202. The Company assessed the nature of the promised license to determine whether the license has significant stand-alone functionality and evaluated whether such functionality can be retained without ongoing activities by the Company and determined that the license has significant stand-alone functionality.

The Company is obligated to pay a portion of milestone payments and royalties on net sales received from Taysha to UNC. The event-based milestone payments are based on certain development and regulatory events occurring. At inception, the Company evaluated whether the milestone conditions had been achieved and if it was probable that a significant cumulative revenue reversal would not occur before recognizing the associated revenue and determined that these milestone payments were not within the Company’s control or the licensee’s control, such as regulatory approvals, and were not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals were received. Accordingly, at inception, the Company fully constrained the $26.0 million of event-based milestone payments until such time that it is probable that significant cumulative revenue reversal would not occur.
