Note 2. 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 United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which we consider necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.
Although we believe that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote information normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim period or for the entire year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Incyte Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new accounting pronouncements issued nor adopted since our filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which could have a significant effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value
September 30, 2022
Debt securities (government) $ 292,941 $ ( 6,441 ) $ 286,500
December 31, 2021
Debt securities (government) $ 291,871 $ ( 1,119 ) $ 290,752
Our available-for-sale debt securities generally have contractual maturity dates of between 12 to 18 months. Debt security assets were assessed for risk of expected credit losses. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the available-for-sale debt securities were held in U.S.-government backed securities and in Treasury bonds and were assessed on an individual security basis to have a de minimis risk of credit loss.
Fair Value Measurements
FASB accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“the exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. In determining fair value we use quoted prices and observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
10
Table of Contents
Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs and quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and models that are significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Our marketable securities consist of investments in U.S. government debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale.
At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our Level 2 U.S. government debt securities were valued using readily available pricing sources which utilize market observable inputs, including the current interest rate and other characteristics for similar types of investments. Our long term investments classified as Level 1 were valued using their respective closing stock prices on The Nasdaq Stock Market. We did not experience any transfers of financial instruments between the fair value hierarchy levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of our financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The following is a rollforward of our Level 3 liabilities (in thousands):

Balance at January 1, $ 244,000
Contingent consideration earned during the period but not yet paid ( 25,802 )
Change in fair value of contingent consideration ( 12,198 )
Balance at September 30, $ 206,000
The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined on the date of acquisition, June 1, 2016, using an income approach based on projected future net revenues of ICLUSIG in the European Union and other countries for the approved third line treatment over 18 years, and discounted to present value at a rate of 10 %. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The valuation inputs utilized to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 included a discount rate of 10 % and updated projections of future net revenues of ICLUSIG in the European Union and other countries for the approved third line treatment. The gain on change in fair value of the contingent consideration during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due primarily to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates included within the updated projections of future net revenues of ICLUSIG.
We generally make payments to Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited quarterly based on the royalties or any additional milestone payments earned in the previous quarter. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contingent consideration earned but not yet paid was $ 25.8 million and $ 19.6 million, respectively, and was included in accrued and other current liabilities.

Our product revenues are concentrated in a number of these customers. The concentration of credit risk related to our JAKAFI, PEMAZYRE and OPZELURA product revenues is as follows:
Percentage of Total Net
Product Revenues for the
Three Months Ended Percentage of Total Net
Product Revenues for the
Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021
Customer A 19 % 19 % 19 % 19 %
Customer B 10 % 11 % 11 % 12 %
Customer C 15 % 17 % 18 % 18 %
Customer D 5 % 9 % 5 % 10 %
Customer E 9 % 11 % 10 % 11 %
We are exposed to risks associated with extending credit to customers related to the sale of products. Customers A, B, C, D and E comprised, in aggregate, 36 % and 31 % of the accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The concentration of credit risk relating to our other product revenues or accounts receivable is not significant.
We assessed our collaborative and customer receivable assets as of September 30, 2022 according to our accounting policy for applying reserves for expected credit losses, noting minimal history of uncollectible receivables and the continued perceived creditworthiness of our third party sales relationships, upon which the expected credit losses were considered de minimis. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Note 6. Inventory
Our inventory balance consists of the following (in thousands):
September 30,
2022 December 31,
2021
Raw materials $ 32,289 $ 1,275
Work-in-process 35,465 39,895
Finished goods 33,379 15,768
Total inventory $ 101,133 $ 56,938
Inventories, stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. At September 30, 2022, $ 45.9 million of inventory was classified as current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as we expect this inventory to be consumed for commercial use within the next twelve months. At September 30, 2022, $ 55.3 million of inventory was classified as non-current on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as we did not expect this inventory to be consumed for commercial use within the next twelve months. We obtain some inventory components from a limited number of suppliers due to technology, availability, price, quality or other considerations. The loss of a supplier, the deterioration of our relationship with a supplier, or any unilateral violation of the contractual terms under which we are supplied components by a supplier could adversely affect our total revenues and gross margins.
We capitalize inventory after U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as the related costs are expected to be recoverable through the commercialization of the product. Costs incurred prior to FDA approval are recorded as research and development expense in our statements of operations. At September 30, 2022, inventory with approximately $ 56.8 million of product costs incurred prior to FDA approval had not yet been sold. We expect to sell the pre-commercialization inventory over the next 28 months and, as a result, cost of product revenues will reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials.

Product royalty revenue related to Lilly net sales of OLUMIANT outside of the United States for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $ 86.6 million and $ 154.9 million, respectively.
Lilly - Ruxolitinib
In March 2016, we entered into an amendment to the agreement with Lilly that amended the non-compete provision of the agreement to allow us to engage in the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib in the GVHD field. Lilly is eligible to receive up to $ 40.0 million in regulatory milestone payments relating to ruxolitinib in the GVHD field. In May 2019, the approval of JAKAFI in steroid-refractory acute GVHD triggered a $ 20.0 million milestone payment to Lilly. In March 2022, the positive recommendation from the European Medicines Agency for regulatory approval of ruxolitinib in the GVHD field triggered an additional $ 20.0 million milestone payment to Lilly, which was recorded as research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Agenus
In January 2015, we entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Agenus Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 4-Antibody AG (now known as Agenus Switzerland Inc.), which we collectively refer to as Agenus. Under this agreement, which was amended in February 2017, the parties have agreed to collaborate on the discovery of novel immuno-therapeutics using Agenus’ antibody discovery platforms. Under the terms of the amended agreement, we received exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to four checkpoint modulators directed against GITR, OX40, LAG-3 and TIM-3 as well as two undisclosed targets. Targets may be designated profit-share programs, where all costs and profits are shared equally by us and Agenus, or royalty-bearing programs, where we are responsible for all costs associated with discovery, preclinical, clinical development and commercialization activities. There are currently no profit-share programs. For each royalty-bearing product other than GITR and one undisclosed target, Agenus will be eligible to receive tiered royalties on global net sales ranging from 6 % to 12 %. For GITR and one undisclosed target, Agenus will be eligible to receive 15 % royalties on global net sales. The agreement may be terminated by us for convenience upon 12 months’ notice and may also be terminated under certain other circumstances, including material breach. On October 19, 2022 we notified Agenus that we were terminating the OX40 project.
As of September 30, 2022, we have paid Agenus milestones totaling $ 30.0 million and Agenus is eligible to receive up to an additional $ 500.0 million in future contingent development, regulatory and commercialization milestones across all programs in the collaboration.

In addition, in 2017 we purchased 10.0 million shares of Agenus Inc.’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $ 60.0 million in cash, or $ 6.00 per share. In 2020, we sold an aggregate of approximately 3.7 million shares of Agenus Inc.’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $ 17.2 million. In 2021, we sold an aggregate of approximately 2.0 million shares of Agenus Inc.’s common stock resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $ 10.5 million. The fair market value of our long term investment in Agenus Inc. at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 24.8 million and $ 38.9 million, respectively.
We intend to hold the investment in Agenus Inc. for the foreseeable future and therefore, are accounting for our shares held in Agenus Inc. at fair value whereby the investment is marked to market through earnings in each reporting period. Given our intent to hold the investment for the foreseeable future, we have classified the investment within long term investments on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded an unrealized gain of $ 1.3 million and an unrealized loss of $ 14.1 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Agenus Inc.’s common stock during the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an unrealized loss of $ 2.8 million and an unrealized gain of $ 29.1 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Agenus Inc.’s common stock during the respective periods.
Merus
In December 2016, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Merus N.V. (“Merus”). Under this agreement, the parties have agreed to collaborate with respect to the research, discovery and development of bispecific antibodies utilizing Merus’ technology platform. The collaboration encompasses up to ten independent programs.
In January 2022, we decided to opt-out of the continued development of MCLA-145, a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and CD137. We continue to collaborate with Merus and leverage the Merus platform to develop a pipeline of novel agents, as we continue to hold worldwide exclusive development and commercialization rights to up to ten additional programs. Of these ten additional programs, Merus retained the option, subject to certain conditions, to co-fund development of up to two such programs. If Merus exercises its co-funding option for a program, Merus would be responsible for funding 35 % of the associated future global development costs and, for certain of such programs, would be responsible for reimbursing us for certain development costs incurred prior to the option exercise. Merus will also have the right to participate in a specified proportion of detailing activities in the United States for one of those co-developed programs. All costs related to the co-funded collaboration programs are subject to joint research and development plans and overseen by a joint development committee, but we will have final determination as to such plans in cases of dispute. We will be responsible for all research, development and commercialization costs relating to all other programs.
For each program as to which Merus does not have commercialization or development co-funding rights, Merus is eligible to receive up to $ 100.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones, and up to $ 250.0 million in commercialization milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging from 6 % to 10 % of global net sales. For each program as to which Merus exercises its option to co-fund development, Merus is eligible to receive a 50 % share of profits (or sustain 50 % of any losses) in the United States and be eligible to receive tiered royalties ranging from 6 % to 10 % of net sales of products outside of the United States. If Merus opts to cease co-funding a program as to which it exercised its co-development option, then Merus will no longer receive a share of profits in the United States but will be eligible to receive the same milestones from the co-funding termination date and the same tiered royalties described above with respect to programs where Merus does not have a right to co-fund development and, depending on the stage at which Merus chose to cease co-funding development costs, Merus will be eligible to receive additional royalties ranging up to 4 % of net sales in the United States. As of September 30, 2022, we have paid Merus milestones totaling $ 3.0 million.
In addition, in 2016 we entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Merus, pursuant to which we purchased 3.2 million common shares of Merus for an aggregate purchase price of $ 80.0 million in cash, or $ 25.00 per share. In January 2021, we purchased 350,000 common shares in Merus’ underwritten public offering of 4,848,485 common shares at the public offering price of $ 24.75 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $ 8.7 million. The fair market value of our total long term investment in Merus at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 71.1 million and $ 112.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we owned approximately 8 % of the outstanding common shares of Merus.

Table of Contents
We have concluded that we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over Merus based primarily on our ownership interest, the level of intra-entity transactions between us and Merus related to development expenses, as well as other qualitative factors. We have elected the fair value option to account for our long term investment in Merus whereby the investment is marked to market through earnings in each reporting period. We believe the fair value option to be the most appropriate accounting method to account for securities in publicly held collaborators for which we have significant influence. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded an unrealized loss of $ 9.3 million and $ 41.8 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Merus’ common shares during the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an unrealized gain of $ 3.3 million and $ 13.3 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Merus’ common shares during the respective periods.
Calithera
In January 2017, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Calithera Biosciences, Inc. (“Calithera”). Under this agreement, we received an exclusive, worldwide license to develop and commercialize small molecule arginase inhibitors, including INCB01158. We had initially agreed to co-fund 70 % of the global development costs for the development of the licensed products for hematology and oncology indications, but effective September 30, 2020 Calithera opted out of its co-funding obligation, and we became responsible for funding all of the development costs of INCB01158 and any other licensed products. In September 2022, we notified Calithera of our exercise of our right to terminate the Collaboration and License Agreement for convenience, effective in December 2022. As a result of the termination, rights to INCB01158 and the other licensed products will revert to Calithera.
In addition, in 2017, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Calithera, pursuant to which we purchased 1.7 million shares of Calithera common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $ 8.0 million in cash, or $ 4.65 per share. In June 2022, Calithera effected a one-for-twenty stock split of its outstanding common stock, adjusting our ownership to 86,021 shares of Calithera’s common stock. The fair market value of our long term investment in Calithera at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 0.3 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively.
We intend to hold the investment in Calithera for the foreseeable future and therefore, are accounting for our shares held in Calithera at fair value whereby the investment is marked to market through earnings in each reporting period. Given our intent to hold the investment for the foreseeable future, we have classified the investment within long term investments on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 we recorded a nominal unrealized gain, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we recorded an unrealized loss of $ 0.9 million, based on the change in fair value of Calithera’s common stock during the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 we recorded an unrealized gain of $ 0.2 million and an unrealized loss of $ 4.6 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Calithera’s common stock during the respective periods.
MacroGenics

Except as set forth in the succeeding sentence, we have sole authority over and bear all costs and expenses in connection with the development and commercialization of INCMGA0012 in all indications, whether as a monotherapy or as part of a combination regimen. MacroGenics has retained the right to develop and commercialize, at its cost and expense, its pipeline assets in combination with INCMGA0012. In addition, MacroGenics has the right to manufacture a portion of both companies’ global clinical and commercial supply needs of INCMGA0012.
In July 2022, we amended our agreement with MacroGenics to reflect changes related to the payment of certain milestones and paid MacroGenics $ 30.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, we have paid MacroGenics developmental milestones totaling $ 100.0 million. After the amendment, MacroGenics will be eligible to receive up to an additional $ 335.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones, and up to $ 330.0 million in sales milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging from 15 % to 24 % of global net sales.

In September 2022, Syros effected a one-for-ten stock split of its outstanding common stock, adjusting our ownership to 93,753 shares of Syros’s common stock. The fair market value of our long term investment in Syros as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 0.6 million and $ 3.1 million, respectively.
We intend to hold the investment in Syros for the foreseeable future and therefore, are accounting for our shares held in Syros at fair value whereby the investment is marked to market through earnings in each reporting period. Given our intent to hold the investment for the foreseeable future, we have classified the investment within long term investments on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our 50 % share of the United States loss for the commercialization of tafasitamab for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $ 1.8 million and $ 9.1 million, respectively, and is recorded as collaboration loss sharing on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Our 50 % share of the United States loss for the commercialization of tafasitamab for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $ 9.1 million and $ 29.5 million, respectively, and is recorded as collaboration loss sharing on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, includes $ 21.9 million and $ 70.4 million, respectively, related to our 55 % share of the co-development costs for tafasitamab. Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, includes $ 21.5 million and $ 55.8 million, respectively, related to our 55 % share of the co-development costs for tafasitamab. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $ 72.5 million and $ 21.5 million, respectively, was included in accrued and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for amounts due to MorphoSys under the agreement.
Nimble
In September 2020, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Nimble Therapeutics, Inc. (“Nimble”). Under the terms of this agreement, Nimble will utilize their peptide synthesis, screening and optimization platform for discovery and validation of peptides against specified targets. Under the agreement, Nimble is eligible to receive up to $ 8.0 million in future contingent discovery milestones and up to $ 127.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones. Additionally, in the event of successful commercialization, Nimble is eligible to receive up to $ 130.0 million in future contingent sales milestones and tiered royalties on net sales in the low single digits.
InnoCare
In August 2021, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Sunny Investments Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of InnoCare Pharma Limited (“InnoCare”). InnoCare received development and exclusive commercialization rights to tafasitamab in hematology and oncology in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

Under the terms of this agreement, we are eligible to receive up to an additional $ 82.5 million in potential development, regulatory and commercial milestones. We recognize development and regulatory milestones upon confirmation of achievement of the event, as development and regulatory approvals are events not controllable by us but rather development activities of InnoCare and decisions made by regulatory agencies. In the event of commercialization, we will recognize sales milestones in the corresponding period of the product sale upon confirmation of net sales milestone threshold achievement by InnoCare.
Syndax
In September 2021, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Syndax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Syndax”), covering the worldwide development and commercialization of SNDX-6352 (“axatilimab”).

Table of Contents
Under the terms of the agreement, we received exclusive commercialization rights outside of the United States, and Syndax and we have co-commercialization rights in the United States, with respect to axatilimab. We will be responsible for leading the commercialization strategy and booking all revenue from sales of axatilimab globally, and Syndax will have the option to co-commercialization axatilimab with Incyte in the United States. Incyte and Syndax will share equally the profits and losses from the co-commercialization efforts in the United States. Sales of axatilimab outside the United States will be subject to our royalty payment obligations to Syndax, as set forth below. We and Syndax have agreed to co-develop axatilimab and to share development costs associated with global and U.S.-specific clinical trials, with Incyte responsible for 55 % of such costs and Syndax responsible for 45 % of such costs. Each company is responsible for funding any independent development activities. All development costs related to the collaboration are subject to a joint development plan.
In December 2021, we paid Syndax an upfront, non-refundable payment of $ 117.0 million, which was recorded in research and development expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. Syndax is eligible to receive up to $ 220.0 million in future contingent development and regulatory milestones and up to $ 230.0 million in sales milestones as well as tiered royalties ranging in the mid-teens on net sales in Europe and Japan and low double digit percentage on net sales in the rest of the world outside of the United States. Syndax’ right to receive royalties in any particular country will expire upon the last to occur of (a) the expiration of patent rights in that particular country, (b) a specified period of time after the first post-marketing authorization sale of a licensed product comprising axatilimab in that country, and (c) the expiration of any regulatory exclusivity for that licensed product in that country.
In addition, under the terms of the agreement and pursuant to a related stock purchase agreement, we purchased approximately 1.4 million shares of Syndax common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $ 35.0 million, or $ 24.62 per share. We completed the purchase of the shares on December 9, 2021 when the closing price on The Nasdaq Stock Market was $ 17.48 per share. Of the $ 35.0 million aggregate purchase price paid, $ 24.8 million was allocated to our stock purchase and was recorded within long term investments and $ 10.2 million, representing premium paid on the purchase, was allocated to research and development expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. The fair market value of our long term investment in Syndax as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 34.2 million and $ 31.1 million.
We intend to hold the investment in Syndax for the foreseeable future and therefore, are accounting for our shares held in Syndax at fair value whereby the investment is marked to market through earnings in each reporting period. Given our intent to hold the investment for the foreseeable future, we have classified the investment within long term investments on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded an unrealized gain of $ 6.8 million and $ 3.1 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Syndax’s common stock during the respective periods.
Maruho
In April 2022, we entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Maruho, Co., Ltd (“Maruho”) for the development, manufacturing and exclusive commercialization of ruxolitinib cream, for treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory dermatology indications in Japan. Maruho will receive the rights to develop, manufacture and exclusively commercialize ruxolitinib cream, and other potential future topical formulations of ruxolitinib, in autoimmune and inflammatory dermatologic diseases, including vitiligo and atopic dermatitis, in Japan.

In March 2017, we acquired additional adjacent buildings to our global headquarters in Wilmington, Delaware and in 2019, began demolition of these buildings and construction of a new laboratory and office building totaling approximately 200,000 square feet. The certificate of occupancy was received in December 2021 and we capitalized approximately $ 158.2 million in building and office equipment that was previously included in construction in progress as of December 31, 2021.
In February 2018, we signed an agreement to rent a building in Morges, Switzerland for an initial term of 15 years plus one year of free rent, with multiple options to extend for an additional 20 years. The building serves as our new European headquarters and consists of approximately 100,000 square feet of office space. This building allowed for consolidation of our European operations that were located in Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland. In June 2019, we obtained control of the Morges building to begin our construction activity, which was completed in 2020. At that time, we determined the lease to be a finance lease and recorded a lease liability of $ 31.1 million and a finance lease right-of-use asset of $ 29.1 million, net of a lease incentive from our landlord of $ 2.0 million. We have capitalized approximately $ 19.5 million in leasehold improvements as of September 30, 2022 relating to Morges.
In July 2018, we signed an agreement to purchase land located in Yverdon, Switzerland. The land was purchased, in cash, for approximately $ 4.8 million. Upon this parcel, we are constructing a large molecule production facility. Construction activity commenced in July 2018, and as of September 30, 2022, we have capitalized approximately $ 190.5 million in costs for construction, ground preparation and architectural and engineering studies. Inspection from competent authorities was finalized in March 2022, and in June 2022 Swissmedic authorities granted the GMP drug manufacturing license for this facility.

Note 10. Stock Compensation
We recorded $ 45.4 million and $ 135.7 million of stock compensation expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. We recorded $ 42.7 million and $ 134.8 million of stock compensation expense on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense included within our condensed consolidated statements of operations included research and development expense of $ 25.8 million, $ 80.2 million, $ 26.3 million and $ 84.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense included within our condensed consolidated statements of operations also included selling, general and administrative expense of $ 18.9 million, $ 53.5 million, $ 15.9 million and $ 49.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense included within our condensed consolidated statements of operations also included cost of product revenues of $ 0.7 million, $ 2.0 million, $ 0.5 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
We utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock compensation granted, with the following weighted-average assumptions:
Employee Stock Options Employee Stock Purchase Plan
For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021
Average risk-free interest rates 2.90 % 0.76 % 2.03 % 0.60 % 4.22 % 0.28 % 3.44 % 0.22 %
Average expected life (in years) 5.17 5.16 4.88 5.00 0.50 0.50 0.50 0.50
Volatility 35 % 38 % 36 % 39 % 31 % 25 % 27 % 31 %
Weighted-average fair value (in dollars) $ 27.57 $ 28.84 $ 25.96 $ 29.32 $ 16.46 $ 18.20 $ 15.38 $ 18.82
The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Federal Reserve rate in effect at the time of grant. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to the exercise of options by our employees based on historical exercise patterns for similar type options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. A dividend yield of zero is assumed based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no present intention to pay cash dividends. Nonemployee awards are measured on the grant date by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued using the expected term, similar to our employee awards.
Option activity under our 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Stock Plan”) was as follows:
Shares Subject to
Outstanding Options
Shares Weighted Average
Exercise Price
Balance at December 31, 2021 12,763,460 $ 88.39
Options granted 1,755,963 $ 75.32
Options exercised ( 477,371 ) $ 66.69
Options cancelled ( 989,465 ) $ 88.60
Balance at September 30, 2022 13,052,587 $ 87.41
Our annual stock option grants generally have a 10 -year term and vest over four years , with 25 % vesting after one year and the remainder vesting in 36 equal monthly installments.

Restricted stock unit (“RSU”) and performance share (“PSU”) award activity under the 2010 Stock Plan was as follows:
Shares Subject to
Outstanding Awards
Shares Grant Date Value
Balance at December 31, 2021 3,966,888 $ 84.91
RSUs granted 2,473,892 77.14

PSUs cancelled ( 1,720 ) 65.76
Balance at September 30, 2022 5,226,984 $ 81.29
RSUs and PSUs are granted to our employees at the share price on the date of grant. Each RSU represents the right to acquire one share of our common stock. Each RSU granted in connection with our annual equity awards will vest 25 % annually over four years , while each RSU granted as outstanding merit awards or as part of retention award programs will vest in a single installment at the end of four years .
We grant PSUs with performance and/or service-based milestones with graded and/or cliff vesting over three to four years . The shares of our common stock into which each PSU may convert is subject to a multiplier based on the level at which the financial, developmental and market performance conditions are achieved over the service period. Compensation expense for PSUs with financial and developmental performance conditions is recorded over the estimated service period for each milestone when the performance conditions are deemed probable of achievement. For PSUs containing performance conditions which were not deemed probable of achievement, no stock compensation expense is recorded. Compensation expense for PSUs with market performance conditions is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the date of grant and recorded over the requisite service period. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 we recorded $ 3.2 million and $ 5.1 million, respectively, of stock compensation expense for PSUs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 we recorded $ 1.7 million and $ 5.0 million of stock compensation expense for PSUs on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes our shares available for grant under the 2010 Stock Plan. Each RSU and PSU grant reduces the available share pool by 2 shares.

Options, RSUs and PSUs cancelled 1,680,482
Balance at September 30, 2022 4,780,305
Based on our historical experience of employee turnover, we have assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5 % for our options, RSUs and PSUs. Under the true-up provisions of the stock compensation guidance, we will record additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than we estimated, and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture is higher than we estimated.
Total compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested, as of September 30, 2022, was $ 51.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 1.1 years. Total compensation cost of RSUs granted but not yet vested, as of September 30, 2022, was $ 235.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years. Total compensation cost of PSUs granted but not yet vested, as of September 30, 2022, was $ 19.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.2 years, should the underlying performance conditions be deemed probable of achievement.

Note 11. Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $ 35.8 million and $ 136.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded income tax expense of approximately $ 27.7 million and $ 65.7 million, respectively. The tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased as compared to that for the prior year periods due to the release of our valuation allowance against a majority of our U.S. research and development tax credit carryforwards and other deferred tax assets at December 31, 2021.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we assessed the valuation allowance and considered positive evidence, including significant cumulative consolidated and U.S. income over the three years ended December 31, 2021, consistent growth in product revenues, and expectations regarding future profitability. We also assessed negative evidence, including the potential impact of competition, clinical failures and patent expirations on our projections. After assessing both the positive evidence and negative evidence, we determined it was more likely than not that the majority of our U.S. deferred tax assets would be realized in the future and released the associated valuation allowance as of December 31, 2021. This resulted in a benefit of $ 569.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, we maintained a valuation allowance of $ 408.2 million against a portion of our remaining U.S. deferred tax assets as well as select state and foreign deferred tax assets.
The balance of our unrecognized tax benefits (including penalties and interest) increased by approximately $ 11.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in movements to other liabilities and deferred income tax asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The overall increase is primarily driven by unrecognized tax benefits related to current year operations and research and development tax credits. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its provision for income taxes.
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted into law. The IRA includes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on share repurchases. We do not expect the IRA to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 13. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Plans
We have a defined contribution plan qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering all U.S. employees and defined contribution plans for other Incyte employees in Europe and Japan. Employees may contribute a portion of their compensation, which is then matched by us, subject to certain limitations. Defined contribution expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $ 5.1 million and $ 14.7 million, respectively. Defined contribution expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $ 4.4 million and $ 12.8 million, respectively.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
We have defined benefit pension plans for our employees in Europe which provide benefits to employees upon retirement, death or disability. The assets of the pension plans are held in collective investment accounts represented by the cash surrender value of an insurance policy and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The net periodic benefit cost was as follows (in thousands):

Amortization of actuarial losses 89 288 266 864
Net periodic benefit cost $ 1,711 $ 2,325 $ 5,255 $ 6,976
The components of net periodic benefit cost other than the service cost component are included in other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to contribute a total of $ 6.4 million to the pension plans in 2022 inclusive of the amounts contributed to the plan during the current period.
Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies
We have entered into the collaboration agreements described in Note 7, as well as various other collaboration agreements that are not individually, or in the aggregate, significant to our operating results or financial condition at this time. We may in the future seek to license additional rights relating to technologies or drug development candidates in connection with our drug discovery and development programs. Under these agreements, we may be required to pay upfront fees, milestone payments, and royalties on sales of future products.
In the ordinary course of our business, we may become involved in lawsuits, proceedings, and other disputes, including commercial, intellectual property, regulatory, employment, and other matters. We record a reserve for these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
