NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2023
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and Business
Incyte Corporation (including its subsidiaries, “Incyte,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary therapeutics. Our portfolio includes compounds in various stages, ranging from preclinical to late stage development, and commercialized products JAKAFI® (ruxolitinib), ICLUSIG® (ponatinib), PEMAZYRE® (pemigatinib), OPZELURA™ (ruxolitinib cream), MINJUVI® (tafasitamab), MONJUVI® (tafasitamab-cxix), which is co-commercialized, and ZYNYZ™ (retifanlimab-dlwr). Our operations are treated as one operating segment.
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 March 31, 2023, the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2022 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, 2022.
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.
Other Intangible Assets, net. Other intangible assets, net consist of licensed intellectual property rights acquired in business combinations, which are reported at acquisition date fair value, less accumulated amortization, as well as milestone payments made to collaboration partners incurred at or after the product has obtained regulatory approval. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Cost of Product Revenues. Cost of product revenues includes all product related costs and royalties owed under our collaboration and license agreements, contingent on certain conditions. In addition, cost of product revenues includes the amortization of our licensed intellectual property for ICLUSIG and the amortization of capitalized milestone payments, using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives, which range between approximately 11 to 14 years. Cost of product revenues also includes employee personnel costs, including stock compensation, for those employees dedicated to the production of our commercial products.

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.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 three months ended March 31, 2023.
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):
2023
Balance at January 1, $ 221,000
Contingent consideration earned during the period but not yet paid ( 9,196 )
Change in fair value of contingent consideration 6,196
Balance at March 31, $ 218,000
The initial 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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 loss on change in fair value of the contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was due primarily to the passage of time.
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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, contingent consideration earned but not yet paid was $ 9.2 million and $ 9.3 million, respectively, and was included in accrued and other current liabilities.
Note 5. Concentration of Credit Risk and Current Expected Credit Losses
In November 2009, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Novartis Pharmaceutical International Ltd. (“Novartis”). In December 2009, we entered into a license, development and commercialization agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”). The above collaboration partners comprised, in aggregate, 18 % and 20 % of the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For further information relating to these collaboration and license agreements, refer to Note 7.

Table of Contents
In November 2011, we began commercialization and distribution of JAKAFI, in April 2020, we began commercialization and distribution of PEMAZYRE, and in October 2021, we began commercialization and distribution of OPZELURA. 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
March 31,
2023 2022
Customer A 17 % 19 %
Customer B 11 % 12 %
Customer C 17 % 18 %
Customer D 10 % 10 %
Customer E 12 % 15 %
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, 40 % and 41 % of the accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2023 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no allowance for doubtful accounts.
Note 6. Inventory
Our inventory balance consists of the following (in thousands):
March 31,
2023 December 31,
2022
Raw materials $ 29,448 $ 31,874
Work-in-process 93,829 54,455
Finished goods 34,287 34,630
Total inventory $ 157,564 $ 120,959
Inventories, stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods. At March 31, 2023, $ 40.9 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 March 31, 2023, $ 116.7 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 regulatory approval as the related costs are expected to be recoverable through the commercialization of the product. Costs incurred prior to regulatory approval are recorded as research and development expense in our statements of operations. At March 31, 2023, inventory with approximately $ 40.7 million of product costs incurred prior to regulatory approval had not yet been sold. We expect to sell the pre-commercialization inventory over the next 24 months and, as a result, cost of product revenues will reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials.

Note 7. License Agreements
Novartis
In November 2009, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement with Novartis. Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis received exclusive development and commercialization rights outside of the United States to our JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib and certain back-up compounds for hematologic and oncology indications, including all hematological malignancies, solid tumors and myeloproliferative diseases. We retained exclusive development and commercialization rights to JAKAFI (ruxolitinib) in the United States and in certain other indications. Novartis also received worldwide exclusive development and commercialization rights to our MET inhibitor compound capmatinib and certain back-up compounds in all indications.
Under this agreement, we were initially eligible to receive up to $ 174.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, up to $ 495.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones and up to $ 500.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones. In addition, we are eligible to receive up to $ 75.0 million of additional potential development and regulatory milestones relating to graft-versus-host-disease (“GVHD”). Since the inception of the agreement through March 31, 2023, we have recognized and received, in the aggregate, $ 157.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, $ 340.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones, and $ 200.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones.
We also are eligible to receive tiered, double-digit royalties ranging from the upper-teens to the mid-twenties on future JAKAVI net sales outside of the United States, and tiered, worldwide royalties on TABRECTA net sales that range from 12 % to 14 %. We are obligated to pay to Novartis tiered royalties in the low single-digits on future JAKAFI net sales within the United States contingent on certain conditions. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, such royalties on net sales within the United States totaled $ 23.4 million and $ 21.7 million, respectively, and were reflected in cost of product revenues on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $ 276.9 million and $ 253.5 million, respectively, of accrued royalties were included in accrued and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, payment of which is dependent on the outcome of a contract dispute with Novartis. Each company is responsible for costs relating to the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib in its respective territories, with costs of collaborative studies shared equally. Novartis is also responsible for all costs relating to the development and commercialization of capmatinib.
Product royalty revenue related to Novartis net sales of JAKAVI outside of the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $ 76.7 million and $ 70.9 million, respectively. Product royalty revenue related to Novartis net sales of TABRECTA worldwide for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $ 4.2 million and $ 3.5 million, respectively.

In December 2009, we entered into a License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Lilly. Under the terms of the agreement, Lilly received exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights to our JAK inhibitor baricitinib, and certain back-up compounds for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Under this agreement, we were initially eligible to receive up to $ 150.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, up to $ 365.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones and up to $ 150.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones. Since the inception of the agreement through March 31, 2023, we have recognized and received, in aggregate, $ 149.0 million for the achievement of development milestones, $ 335.0 million for the achievement of regulatory milestones and $ 50.0 million for the achievement of sales milestones. We are also eligible to receive tiered, double-digit royalties on future global sales with rates ranging up to the mid-twenties if a product is successfully commercialized.
In May 2020, we amended our agreement with Lilly to enable Lilly to develop and commercialize baricitinib for the treatment of COVID-19. As part of the amended agreement, in addition to the royalties described above, we will be entitled to receive additional royalty payments with rates in the low teens on global net sales of baricitinib for the treatment of COVID-19 that exceed a specified aggregate global net sales threshold.
Product royalty revenue related to Lilly net sales of OLUMIANT outside of the United States for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $ 34.2 million and $ 48.1 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 was 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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.
Since the inception of the agreement through March 31, 2023, 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.
As of March 31, 2023, we held an investment of approximately 12.1 million shares of Agenus common stock. The fair market value of our long term investment in Agenus at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 18.3 million and $ 29.0 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an unrealized loss of $ 10.6 million and $ 9.2 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.

Table of Contents
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. In January 2023, we paid Merus a milestone of $ 2.5 million, which was recorded as research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Since the inception of the agreement through March 31, 2023, we have paid and expensed Merus milestones totaling $ 5.5 million.
As of March 31, 2023, we held an investment of approximately 3.6 million common shares. The fair market value of our total long term investment in Merus at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 65.3 million and $ 54.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an unrealized gain $ 10.4 million and an unrealized loss of $ 19.0 million, respectively, based on the change in fair value of Merus’ common shares during the respective periods.
MacroGenics
In October 2017, we entered into a Global Collaboration and License Agreement with MacroGenics, Inc. (“MacroGenics”). Under this agreement, we received exclusive development and commercialization rights worldwide to MacroGenics’ INCMGA0012 (formerly MGA012), an investigational monoclonal antibody that inhibits PD-1. 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, which was previously recorded as research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations in the third quarter of 2022. In March 2023, we made a $ 15.0 million regulatory milestone payment to MacroGenics for the FDA approval of ZYNYZ for the treatment of adults with Merkel cell carcinoma. This milestone payment was capitalized as an intangible asset and included in Other intangible assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, and will be amortized through cost of product revenues over the estimated useful life of 13.5 years.
Since the inception of the agreement through March 31, 2023, we have paid MacroGenics developmental and regulatory milestones totaling $ 115.0 million. After the amendment and subsequent payments, MacroGenics will be eligible to receive up to an additional $ 320.0 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.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 also included $ 17.8 million and $ 13.5 million, respectively, of development costs incurred pursuant to the MacroGenics agreement. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a total of $ 1.3 million and $ 2.9 million of such costs were included in accrued and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 Three Months Ended
March 31, March 31,
2023 2022 2023 2022
Average risk-free interest rates 3.72 % 1.47 % 4.06 % 2.28 %
Average expected life (in years) 4.73 4.66 0.50 0.50
Volatility 33 % 38 % 22 % 24 %
Weighted-average fair value (in dollars) $ 28.24 $ 25.15 $ 13.70 $ 13.76
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, 2022 12,650,359 $ 87.25
Options granted 521,152 $ 83.07

Options cancelled ( 544,806 ) $ 95.30
Balance at March 31, 2023 12,419,055 $ 87.06
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, 2022 5,187,592 $ 81.24
RSUs granted 577,956 $ 83.12
RSUs released ( 140,791 ) $ 78.04

PSUs cancelled ( 971 ) $ 106.47
Balance at March 31, 2023 5,550,448 $ 81.52
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 .
19
Table of Contents
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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $ 6.5 million and $ 1.8 million, respectively, 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.
Shares Available
for Grant
Balance at December 31, 2022 5,056,370
Options, RSUs and PSUs granted ( 1,677,064 )
Options, RSUs and PSUs cancelled 692,169
Balance at March 31, 2023 4,071,475
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 March 31, 2023, was $ 42.3 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 March 31, 2023, was $ 202.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years. Total compensation cost of PSUs granted but not yet vested, as of March 31, 2023, was $ 24.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.7 years, should the underlying performance conditions be deemed probable of achievement.
Note 11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded the following provisions for income taxes and effective tax rates as compared to our income before provision for income taxes:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
2023 2022
Income before provision for income taxes $ 51,856 $ 70,535
Provision for income taxes 30,153 32,543
Effective tax rate 58.1 % 46.1 %
Our effective tax rate for both of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to foreign losses with no associated tax benefit (i.e., full valuation allowance). While the tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased marginally as compared to that for the prior year period, the effective tax rate increased as a result of lower U.S. earnings, while unbenefited foreign losses remained flat.
The balance of our unrecognized tax benefits (including penalties and interest) increased by approximately $ 2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, 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.

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.
