Product revenues totaled
$100.10 million and$308.87 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared to$56.89 million and$222.60 million in the prior year periods, and were comprised of:-
Sales of tislelizumab in China of
$63.48 million and$163.36 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared to none in the prior year periods. Full year 2020 revenue from tislelizumab reflect sales since its launch in China in March 2020; -

$12.62 million and$95.12 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared to$55.85 million and$221.56 million in the prior year periods, respectively; and -
Sales of Amgen in-licensed products in China of
$5.45 million and$8.50 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared to none in the prior year periods. We began selling Amgen's XGEVA in July 2020.
-
Sales of tislelizumab in China of
-
There was no collaboration revenue for the fourth quarter or full year 2020, compared to nil and
$205.62 million in the prior year periods, respectively. Collaboration revenue for the full year 2019 included a$150 million payment in connection with the termination of the tislelizumab collaboration agreement with Celgene, which was acquired by BMS.

-
Cost of Sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 were
$21.08 million and$70.66 million , respectively, compared to$17.98 million and$71.19 million in the prior year periods. Cost of sales increased primarily as a result of the launch of tislelizumab, BRUKINSA, and XGEVA, and were offset by lower sales volumes of the BMS in-licensed products. -
R&D Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 were
$355.54 million and$1.29 billion , respectively, compared to$283.26 million and$927.34 million in the prior year periods. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to increased spending on our ongoing and late-stage pivotal clinical trials, expense related to upfront license payments for in-licensed assets, development expenses associated with the Amgen collaboration, the preparation of additional regulatory submissions, and manufacturing costs related to development programs and pre-commercial activities. Upfront fees related to in-process R&D for in-licensed assets totaled nil and$109.50 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared to$20.00 million and$50.00 million in the prior year periods. Employee share-based compensation expense also contributed to the overall increase in R&D expenses, and was$23.48 million and$93.00 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared to$21.69 million and$76.29 million in the prior year periods, due to increased headcount and a higher share price. -

$208.21 million and$600.18 million , respectively, compared to$143.35 million and$388.25 million in the prior year periods. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to increased headcount, largely related to continued expansion of our commercial teams, higher professional service fees and higher external commercial expenses, including selling and marketing, market access studies and promotional activities. The overall increase in SG&A expenses was also attributable to higher SG&A-related share-based compensation expense, which was$25.98 million and$90.48 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2020, respectively, compared to$16.65 million and$57.86 million for the prior year periods, due to increased headcount and a higher share price. -
Net Loss for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 was
$472.75 million and$1.60 billion , or$0.40 and$1.47 per share, respectively, or$5.20 and$19.13 per ADS, respectively, compared to$388.06 million and$948.63 million , or$0.49 and$1.22 per share, or$6.39 and$15.80 per ADS, respectively, in the prior year periods.
