Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy
Product sales
Sales of Amgen's products are recognized when shipped and title and risk of loss have passed. Product sales are recorded net of accruals for estimated rebates, wholesaler chargebacks, discounts and other deductions (collectively, sales deductions) and returns. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities related to the sales of Amgen's products, primarily in Europe, are excluded from revenues.
Other revenues
Other revenues consist primarily of royalty income and corporate partner revenues. Royalties from licensees are based on third-party sales of licensed products and are recorded in accordance with contract terms when third-party results are reliably measurable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Royalty estimates are made in advance of amounts collected using historical and forecasted trends. Corporate partner revenues are composed mainly of license fees and milestones earned, Amgen's share of commercial profits generated from collaborations and amounts earned for certain research and development (R&D) services performed for others, including Kirin-Amgen, Inc. (K-A), which are recognized as the R&D services are performed.
