Collaborations and Other Arrangements Collaborations and Other Arrangements
We often enter into collaborative and other arrangements to develop and commercialize drug candidates or to sell the rights of a product. See Note 2 for a discussion of our recognition of revenue from our collaborations and other arrangements.
Collaborative activities may include research and development, marketing and selling, manufacturing, and distribution for which we may receive from or pay to the collaboration partner expense reimbursements. Operating expenses for costs incurred pursuant to these arrangements are reported in their respective expense line item, net of any payments due to or reimbursements due from our collaboration partners, with such reimbursements being recognized at the time the party becomes obligated to pay. Each arrangement is unique in nature, and our more significant arrangements are discussed below.
Boehringer Ingelheim Collaboration
We and Boehringer Ingelheim have a global agreement to jointly develop and commercialize a portfolio of compounds. Boehringer Ingelheim's Jardiance product family, which includes Glyxambi, Synjardy, and Trijardy XR, is the significant product family included in the collaboration.
For the Jardiance product family in the most significant markets, which remains in the collaboration through December 31, 2028, we receive a share of net sales depending on performance of the product, which we recognize as collaboration and other revenue. The following table summarizes our revenue recognized:

In 2025 and 2024, we and Boehringer Ingelheim entered into amendments to our collaboration to adjust commercialization responsibilities for the Jardiance product family in certain markets, resulting in our recognition of one-time benefits of $370 million and $300 million as Jardiance revenue during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a $200 million sales-based milestone for Jardiance. As of December 31, 2025, we have the right to receive up to $910 million in potential sales-based milestones related to the Jardiance product family in certain markets in 2026.
