Management Overview
Innoviva, Inc. (and where context requires, together with its subsidiaries referred to as “Innoviva”, the “Company”, the “Registrant” or “we” and other similar pronouns) is a company with a core royalties portfolio, a leading critical care and infectious disease platform known as Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics (“IST”), and a portfolio of strategic investments in other healthcare assets
Our royalty portfolio contains respiratory assets partnered with Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”), including RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® (fluticasone furoate/vilanterol, “FF/VI”) and ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® (umeclidinium bromide/vilanterol, “UMEC/VI”), and up until July 2022, TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA ® (the combination FF/UMEC/VI). We sold our 15% ownership interest in Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (“TRC”) on July 20, 2022, and are no longer entitled to receive royalties on sales of TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA ® products. Under the Long‑Acting Beta2 Agonist (“LABA”) Collaboration Agreement, Innoviva is entitled to receive royalties from GSK on sales of RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® as follows: 15% on the first $3.0 billion of annual global net sales and 5% for all annual global net sales above $3.0 billion; and royalties from the sales of ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® which tier upward at a range from 6.5% to 10%.
We expanded our portfolio through the acquisition of Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (“Entasis”) on July 11, 2022 and the acquisition of La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company (“La Jolla”) on August 22, 2022. Following the acquisitions, our commercial and marketed products include GIAPREZA ® (angiotensin II), approved to increase blood pressure in adults with septic or other distributive shock, and XERAVA ® (eravacycline) approved for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections in adults. Our new commercial and marketed product, XACDURO ® (formerly known as sulbactam-durlobactam or SUL-DUR), was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) on May 23, 2023 for the treatment of hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonias caused by Acinetobacter in adults. We commenced commercial sales of XACDURO ® in the third quarter of 2023. On December 14, 2024, we entered into an exclusive distribution and license agreement with Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd, Allschwil (SIX: BSLN) (“Basilea”) for the commercialization of ZEVTERA ® (ceftobiprole), an advanced-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, in the U.S. We continue to further advance our pipeline and are on track to submit a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for zoliflodacin, potentially first in class, single dose oral drug for the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea, to the U.S. FDA in early 2025. As such, we have a wholly owned robust critical care and infectious disease operating platform with hospital focus anchored by four differentiated products with significant growth potential and a promising drug candidate.
In addition, we own other strategic healthcare assets, such as a large equity stake in Armata Pharmaceuticals (“Armata”), a leader in development of bacteriophage with potential use across a range of infectious and other serious diseases. We also have economic interests in other healthcare companies.
Our focus on capital allocation and shareholder value maximization has led our company to a meaningful transformation over the last two years. In 2022 our financials contained royalty revenues from TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA ® which was divested mid-year in an economically accretive transaction. Additionally, our acquisition and integration of operating companies and advancement of our therapeutics portfolio further changed the structure of our financials compared to prior years. Through these changes, we believe we are well-positioned to create significant long-term shareholder value.
Our company structure and organization are tailored to our focused activities of managing our respiratory assets partnered with GSK, commercializing our marketed products, developing our product candidates, optimizing capital allocation, and providing for certain essential reporting and management functions of a public company. As of December 31, 2024, we had 127 employees.

• Cash and cash equivalents: Totaled $305.0 million. Royalty and net product sales receivables totaled $86.4 million as of December 31, 2024.
Key Business and R&D Highlights
• ZEVTERA ® (ceftobiprole): an advanced-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that is approved in the U.S. for three specific treatment indications. ZEVTERA ® is the only FDA-approved methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) cephalosporin antibiotic for treating adult patients with Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (bacteremia) (“SAB”) and endocarditis. ZEVTERA ® is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with SAB, including right-sided infective endocarditis, adult patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and for adult and pediatric patients (3 months to less than 18 years old) with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP).
o In the fourth quarter of 2024, Innoviva licensed U.S. commercialization and distribution rights to ZEVTERA ® from Basilea.
o The Company anticipates launching ZEVTERA ® in the U.S. in mid-2025.
• Zoliflodacin: a potential first-in-class, single dose, oral antibiotic is currently being developed in partnership with The Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership (“GARDP”) for the treatment of patients with uncomplicated gonorrhea.
o In 2024, the Company reported positive Phase 3 data for zoliflodacin, in which a single dose of oral zoliflodacin achieved a statistically non-inferior microbiological cure rate compared to the current global standard of care. Oral zoliflodacin was generally well tolerated and emergent adverse events were comparable between treatment arms. No deaths or other serious adverse events were reported.
o The Company remains on track to submit the zoliflodacin NDA to the FDA in early 2025.
• XACDURO ® (sulbactam for injection; durlobactam for injection), co-packaged for intravenous use: a targeted antibacterial treatment for patients with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) caused by susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex.
o XACDURO ® was approved in China by the National Medical Products Administration for use in Chinese patients 18 years of age and older in May 2024.

o In August, XACDURO ® was nominated for the prestigious Prix Galien USA award for Best Biotechnology Product.
Update on Strategic Healthcare Assets
• Our portfolio of strategic assets under the Company’s various subsidiaries was valued at $501.5 million as of December 31, 2024. In the fourth quarter 2024, we continued to support product developments and invested $10.9 million in Gate Neurosciences, Inc., a leader in developing precision medicines targeting synaptic health.
Collaborative Arrangements with GSK
LABA Collaboration
In November 2002, we entered into the LABA Collaboration Agreement with GSK to develop and commercialize once‑daily LABA products for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (“COPD”) and asthma (the “LABA Collaboration Agreement”). For the treatment of COPD, the collaboration has developed three combination products:
• RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® (“FF/VI”) (BREO ® ELLIPTA ® is the proprietary name in the U.S. and Canada and RELVAR ® ELLIPTA ® is the proprietary name outside the U.S. and Canada), a once‑daily combination medicine consisting of a LABA, vilanterol (VI), and an inhaled corticosteroid (“ICS”), fluticasone furoate (“FF”),
• ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® (“UMEC/VI”), a once‑daily medicine combining a long‑acting muscarinic antagonist (“LAMA”), umeclidinium bromide (“UMEC”), with a LABA, vilanterol (VI), and
• TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA ® (the combination FF/UMEC/VI), a once‑daily combination medicine consisting of an ICS, LAMA and LABA.
As a result of the launch and approval of RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® and ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® in the U.S., Japan and Europe, in accordance with the LABA Collaboration Agreement, we paid approval and launch milestone payments to GSK totaling $220.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. Although we have no further milestone payment obligations to GSK pursuant to the LABA Collaboration Agreement, we continue to have ongoing commercialization activities under the LABA Collaboration Agreement, including participation in the joint steering committee that are expected to continue over the life of the agreement. The milestone fees paid to GSK were recognized as capitalized fees, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives commencing upon the commercial launch of the products.
We are entitled to receive royalties from GSK on sales of RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® as follows: 15% on the first $3.0 billion of annual global net sales and 5% for all annual global net sales above $3.0 billion. On sales of ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® , royalties are upward tiering and range from 6.5% to 10%. We no longer receive royalties on sales of TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA ® after we sold our royalty rights along with the sale of our ownership in TRC in July 2022.
As mentioned above, on July 20, 2022, we sold our ownership interest in TRC, which received royalty payments from GSK stemming from sales of TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA ® . We retained our royalty rights with respect to RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® and ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® .
Strategic Partnership with Sarissa Capital
Strategic Advisory Agreement
On December 11, 2020, we entered into a Strategic Advisory Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Sarissa Capital Management LP (“Sarissa Capital”), pursuant to which Sarissa Capital provides a variety of strategic services to us in order to assist us in the development and execution of our acquisition strategy. The services are provided free of charge to us. Sarissa Capital is considered to be a related party due to its investment in Innoviva’s common stock and its representation on our board of directors.

Partnership Agreement
On December 11, 2020, Innoviva Strategic Partners LLC (“Strategic Partners”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) and an Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”) pursuant to which Strategic Partners became a limited partner of ISP Fund LP (the “Partnership”). The general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”) is an affiliate of Sarissa Capital and, pursuant to an investment management agreement, Sarissa Capital acts as the investment adviser to the Partnership. Strategic Partners made a $300.0 million initial contribution into the Partnership. The Partnership was formed for the purposes of investing in equity securities in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The Partnership Agreement provides for Sarissa Capital to receive a customary one percent management fee from the Partnership, payable quarterly in advance, measured based on the Net Asset Value of Strategic Partners’ capital account in the Partnership. In addition, the General Partner is entitled to a customary 10% annual performance allocation based on the Net Profits of the Partnership during the annual measurement period. The Partnership Agreement includes a lock-up period of thirty-six months after which Strategic Partners is entitled to make withdrawals from the Partnership as of such lock-up expiration date and each anniversary thereafter, subject to certain limitations.
In May 2021, Strategic Partners received a distribution of $110.0 million from the Partnership to provide funding to Innoviva for a strategic repurchase of Innoviva common shares held by GSK. On March 30, 2022, Strategic Partners made an additional capital contribution of $110.0 million to the Partnership pursuant to the letter agreement entered into between Strategic Partners, the Partnership and Sarissa Capital Fund GP LP on May 20, 2021. The capital contribution is subject to a 36-month lock-up period from the contribution date.
The lock-up period for our initial contribution of $190.0 million expired in December 2023. Strategic Partners did not elect to make a withdrawal in 2023, thereby extending the lock-up period and withdrawal elections into subsequent years. In October 2024, we made an election to unwind the capital accounts in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement and we expect to receive distributions of our capital accounts through April 2026.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.
Business Combinations
We use the acquisition method of accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations . Each acquired company’s operating results are included in our consolidated financial statements starting on the acquisition date. The purchase price is equivalent to the fair value of consideration transferred. Tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as of the acquisition date are recorded at the acquisition date fair value. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Amounts allocated to assets and liabilities are based upon fair values. Such valuations require us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to the identifiable intangible assets. We make estimates of fair value based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable and that of a market participant. Significant estimates and assumptions may involve projected future revenues, earnings, cash flows, estimated probabilities of certain milestone achievements, discount rates, asset lives, among other items. Our estimates may also impact our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy and validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Our estimates are based on available historical information as well as future expectations, and the estimates are inherently uncertain. The separately identifiable intangible assets generally include marketed products, in-process research and development and collaboration agreement.

Revenue Recognition from Royalties
We recognize the royalty revenue on net sales of products with respect to which we have contractual royalty rights in the period in which the royalties are earned. The net sales reports provided by our partner are based on its methodology and assumptions to estimate rebates and returns, which it monitors and adjusts regularly in light of contractual and legal obligations, historical trends, past experience and projected market conditions. Our partner may make significant adjustments to its sales based on actual results recorded, which could cause our royalty revenue to fluctuate. We conduct periodic royalty audits to evaluate the information provided by our partner. Royalties are recognized net of amortization of capitalized fees associated with any approval and launch milestone payments made to GSK.
Revenue Recognition from Product Sales
We apply the guidance on principal versus agent considerations under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , to determine the appropriate treatment for the transactions between us and third parties. The classification of transactions under our arrangements is determined based on the nature and contractual terms of the arrangement along with the nature of the operations of the participants. Any consideration related to activities in which we are considered the principal, which includ es being in control of the good or service before such good or service is transferred to the customer, are accounted for as product sales.
Prior to recognizing any revenue from product sales, we identify the contract, performance obligations, and transaction price, and allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. Revenue from product sales is recognized when our customers obtain control of the product and is recorded at the transaction price, net of estimates for variable consideration consisting of chargebacks, discounts, returns and rebates. Variable consideration is estimated using the expected-value amount method, which is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results vary materially from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which will affect revenue from product sales and earnings in the period such estimates are adjusted. These items may include:
• Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts we provide to distributors in the event that the sales prices to end users are below the distributors’ acquisition price. This may occur due to a direct contract with a health system, a group purchasing organization (“GPO”) agreement or a sale to a government facility. Chargebacks are estimated based on known chargeback rates and recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to our customers.
• Discounts: We offer customers various forms of incentives and consideration, including prompt-pay and other discounts. We estimate discounts primarily based on contractual terms. These discounts are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to our customers.
• Returns: We offer customers a limited right of return, generally for damaged or expired product. We estimate returns based on an internal analysis, which includes actual experience. The estimates for returns are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to our customers.
• Rebates: We participate in Medicaid rebate programs, which provide assistance to certain low-income patients based on each individual state’s guidelines regarding eligibility and services. Under the Medicaid rebate programs, we pay a rebate to each participating state, generally within three months after the quarter in which product was sold. Additionally, we may offer customer incentives and consideration in the form of volume-based or other rebates. The estimates for rebates are recorded as a reduction of revenue on delivery to our customers.
We continue to assess our estimates of variable consideration as we accumulate additional historical data and will adjust these estimates accordingly.
Capitalized Fees Paid
We review our Capitalized Fees for impairment on a product‑by‑product basis for each major geographic area when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The recoverability of Capitalized Fees is measured by comparing the asset’s carrying amount to the expected undiscounted future cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. The determination of recoverability typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including estimating the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount, and the asset’s residual value, if any. We derive the required cash flow estimates from near‑term forecasted product sales and long‑term projected sales in the corresponding market. Based upon our analyses of past, current and future sales and trends, there have been no indicators of impairment and no impairment charges have been recorded on the Capitalized Fees as of December 31, 2024.

Variable Interest Entities
The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE’) is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. When we obtain a variable interest in another entity, we assess at the inception of the relationship and upon occurrence of certain significant events whether the entity is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on our power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and our obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. To determine whether a variable interest that we hold could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consider both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size and form of our involvement with the VIE.
To assess whether we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, we consider all the facts and circumstances, including our role in establishing the VIE and our ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities. In general, the parties that make the most significant decisions affecting the VIE (management and representation on the Board of Directors) and have the right to unilaterally remove those decision-makers are deemed to have the power to direct the activities of a VIE.
To assess whether we have the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, we consider all of our economic interests that are deemed to be variable interests in the VIE. This assessment requires us to apply judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE.
Equity and Other Investments
Our investments in Armata include a convertible note (the “Armata Convertible Note”) and term loans issued in July 2023 and March 2024 (the “July 2023 Armata Term Loan ” and the “March 2024 Armata Term Loan”, respectively), all of which are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. The Armata Convertible Note is measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the probability of certain qualified events and the assumptions of risk-free rate, volatility of stock price and timing of certain qualified events. We measure the July 2023 Armata Term Loan and the March 2024 Armata Term Loan at fair value using an income approach based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows.
Our Level 3 financial instruments include the Gate convertible promissory note and private placement positions held by ISP Fund LP as these securities are not publicly traded and the assumptions used in the valuation model for valuing these securities are based on significant unobservable and observable inputs including those of publicly traded peer companies. We measure the Gate convertible promissory note at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model with the probability of certain qualified events and the assumptions of equity value of Gate, risk-free rate, expected stock price, volatility of its peer companies, and the time until a financing is raised. Valuation models applied for the private placement positions held by ISP Fund LP may include the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, the Monte Carlo simulation model and other applicable valuation models. Key assumptions involve inputs to the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model, probability rates of certain events and scenarios applied in the Monte Carlo simulation model and discount rates, as appropriate. The Monte Carlo simulation model also incorporates assumptions made based on transaction details such as the security’s stock price, the expected term, maturity, risk-free interest rates and dividend yield, as well as volatility.
We also hold preferred stock warrants in InCarda Therapeutics Inc. (“InCarda”), a privately held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The preferred stock warrants are classified as Level 3 financial instruments and recorded at fair value subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to estimate the fair value of the warrants with the following input assumptions: the exercise price of the warrants, the risk-free interest rate computed based on the U.S. Treasury yield, the remaining contractual term as the expected term, and the expected stock price volatility calculated based on the historical volatility of the common stock of its public peer companies. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of these warrants was minimal.

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were mainly attributable to post marketing commitments required by the FDA and ongoing product development. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were mainly attributable to our product development efforts for XACDURO ® . Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the FDA approval of XACDURO ® in May 2023 and resource reallocation from the research development function to general and administrative function after the FDA approval. External services costs consist primarily of fees paid to consultants, contractors and contract manufacturing organizations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was mainly due to the reallocation of resources from the research and development function, focusing on regulatory compliance since May 2023 after the FDA approval of XACDURO ® , and enhanced commercial strategies resulting from our ongoing efforts to promote and deliver our marketed critical care products to healthcare systems and patients.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were lower than those for the year ended December 31, 2023, because this amount included only partial-year expenses for Entasis, which we began consolidating on February 17, 2022, and for La Jolla, which we acquired on August 22, 2022.

The interest expense for the periods presented included the contractual interest expense and the amortization of debt issuance costs for our convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and our convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), as well as effective interest expense on our deferred royalty obligation related to GIAPREZA ® . The year-over-year increases from 2022 to 2024 were primarily due to a higher effective interest rate on our deferred royalty obligation, driven by stronger sales performance of GIAPREZA ® .
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized a loss of $20.7 million due to the total premium payment of $20.4 million and the write-off of $0.3 million debt issuance costs in connection with the repurchase of $144.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2023 Notes in March 2022.
Gain on Sale of TRC
We recognized a net gain of $266.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 due to the sale of our ownership interest in TRC to Royalty Pharma, consummated on July 20, 2022.

The changes in fair values of equity method investments for the year ended December 31, 2024 were unfavorable mainly due to the decrease in Armata’s stock price. We recorded $64.3 million in unrealized losses, $77.4 million in unrealized gains and $152.5 million in unrealized losses associated with equity investments in Armata for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The changes in fair values of equity method investments for the year ended December 31, 2022 also included $9.2 million in unrealized losses from our then equity investments in Entasis before the acquisition in July 2022.
The changes in fair values of equity and long-term investments year over year reflect the realized gains and losses and net unrealized gains and losses in our strategic investments in Armata, InCarda, Gate and ImaginAb, and those investments managed by ISP Fund LP. We recorded $2.3 million in unrealized losses and $23.8 million in unrealized gains for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 related to our other long-term investments in Armata.

As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income taxes of $520.6 million, $543.5 million and $411.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we also had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.0 billion which will expire beginning 2030. As of December 31, 2024, we had state research and development tax credits of $33.3 million.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $14.0 million, $14.4 million and $66.7 million, respectively, of income tax expense, mainly based on the taxable income generated during those years.
Our total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $61.3 million, $19.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively. The increase of $41.9 million in 2024 was primarily due to our strategic intercompany intellectual property alignment across different jurisdictions.
Utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is subject to rules, provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions, governing annual limitations tied to ownership changes. We conducted an analysis of the Company through December 31, 2024 to determine whether an ownership change had occurred since inception. The study concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company did not experience an ownership change during the testing period. If we ever undergo an ownership change, the utilization of the pre-ownership change net operating loss carryforwards or pre-ownership change tax attributes, such as research tax credits, to offset the post-ownership change income may be subject to an annual limitation, pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws.
As of December 31, 2024, $154.8 million of Entasis’ federal net operating losses and $365.8 million of La Jolla’s federal operating losses from the acquisitions in 2022, both subject to annual limitations, were available for future utilization.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) addresses the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the global economy. It aims to restore confidence in the international tax system by ensuring that profits are taxed where economic activities take place and value is created. On April 25, 2024, the OECD published the Consolidated Commentary (“Commentary”) to the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) Model Rules, incorporating all agreed Administrative Guidance that has been released by the Inclusive Framework from March 2022 through December 2023. The Commentary aims to provide tax administrations and taxpayers with guidance on the interpretation and application of the GloBE Model Rules. The Company is not subject to Pillar Two this fiscal year; however, it will continue to monitor the tax implications of the legislative changes if and when its non-U.S. footprint expands in the future.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $6.3 million, which consisted of share of noncontrolling interests in TRC and Entasis. There were no noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Since our inception, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements and public offerings of equity and debt securities and payments received under collaborative arrangements. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we generated gross royalty revenues of $255.6 million, net product sales revenues of $97.5 million and license and other revenue of $19.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $305.0 million, royalties receivable from GSK totaled $66.0 million and accounts receivable associated with our marketed products and related arrangements totaled $20.4 million, as of December 31, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, we had two outstanding convertible notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2028 Notes, in an aggregate principal amount of $453.5 million, of which $192.5 million and $261.0 million will become due in August 2025 and March 2028, respectively. Future interest payments associated with these notes total $24.2 million.
In May 2021, Strategic Partners received a distribution of $110.0 million from the Partnership to provide funding to Innoviva for a strategic repurchase of Innoviva common shares held by GSK. On March 30, 2022, Strategic Partners made an additional capital contribution of $110.0 million to the Partnership pursuant to the letter agreement entered into between Strategic Partners, the Partnership and Sarissa Capital Fund GP LP on May 20, 2021. The capital contribution is subject to a 36-month lock-up period from the contribution date. The lock-up period for our initial contribution of $190.0 million expired in December 2023. Strategic Partners did not elect to make a withdrawal in 2023, thereby extending the lock-up period and withdrawal elections into subsequent years. In October 2024, we made an election to unwind the capital accounts in the Partnership in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement and we expect to receive distributions of our capital accounts through April 2026.
Adequacy of Cash Resources to Meet Future Needs
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our anticipated debt service and operating needs for at least the next 12 months based upon current operating plans and financial forecasts. Our long-term capital requirements will depend on many factors including the amount of our royalty revenues, sales growth of our currently marketed products, timing of regulatory approval of our product candidate and outcome of our acquisitions and strategic investments. If our current operating plans and financial forecasts change, we may require additional funding sooner in the form of public or private equity offerings or debt financings. Furthermore, if in our view favorable financing opportunities arise, we may seek additional funding in the form of public or private equity offerings or debt financings at any time. However, future financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could leave us without adequate financial resources to fund our operations as currently planned. In addition, from time to time we may restructure or reduce our debt, including through privately negotiated repurchases, tender offers, redemptions, amendments, or otherwise, all allowable with the terms of our debt agreements.
