Alkermes Plc Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results
— First Quarter Revenues of $223.1 Million, Primarily Driven by ~8% Year-Over-Year Growth of Proprietary Product Net Sales —
— Company Reports GAAP Net Loss per Share of $0.62 and Non-GAAP Net Loss per Share of $0.17 —
— Company Reiterating Financial Expectations for 2019 —
DUBLIN, Ireland, Apr. 25, 2019 — Alkermes plc (Nasdaq: ALKS) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2019.
“Our first quarter results reflect the diversity of our business, as the growth of VIVITROL® net sales and royalty revenues from INVEGA SUSTENNA® offset a decline in AMPYRA® royalties, following generic entry in the market. As is typical, during the first quarter we saw the effect of seasonal inventory fluctuations and deductible resets for commercial payer plans impact net sales of our proprietary commercial products, which decreased sequentially. In particular, ARISTADA® net sales were impacted more than anticipated by inventory fluctuations which masked underlying prescription growth of approximately 5% compared to last quarter,” commented James Frates, Chief Financial Officer of Alkermes. “Today, we are reiterating our financial expectations for 2019, as we continue to position VIVITROL and ARISTADA for long-term growth, invest in our development pipeline and prepare for the potential launch of ALKS 3831.”
“The first few months of 2019 were highlighted by the presentation of important new data from large clinical trials of both ALKS 3831 and ARISTADA at the 2019 Congress of the Schizophrenia International Research Society. These innovative studies demonstrated the clear antipsychotic efficacy of our medicines along with our intended patient-focused attributes relating to safety and tolerability. Our recently announced ALPINE study results also provide information useful to clinicians making treatment decisions for their patients,” commented Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “Looking ahead, we are focused on executing both commercially and across our development pipeline. With the planned submission of the New Drug Application for ALKS 3831 mid-year, expected regulatory action for diroximel fumarate for multiple sclerosis in the fourth quarter, and increasing momentum in the ALKS 4230 immuno-oncology program, we have a number of key milestones ahead and look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the year.”
Quarter Ended Mar. 31, 2019 Financial Highlights
|
• |
Total revenues for the quarter were $223.1 million, compared to $225.2 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting the growth in our proprietary product net sales and an offsetting decrease in AMPYRAi revenues following generic entry into the market in 2018. |
|
• |
Net loss according to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) was $96.4 million for the quarter, or a basic and diluted GAAP net loss per share of $0.62. This compared to GAAP net loss of $62.5 million, or a basic and diluted GAAP net loss per share of $0.40 for the same period in the prior year. |
|
• |
Non-GAAP net loss was $26.0 million for the quarter, or a non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.17. This compared to non-GAAP net loss of $14.2 million, or a non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.09 for the same period in the prior year. |
Quarter Ended Mar. 31, 2019 Financial Results
Revenues
|
• |
Net sales of VIVITROL were $69.2 million, compared to $62.7 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately 10%. |
|

Manufacturing and royalty revenues from RISPERDAL CONSTA®, INVEGA SUSTENNA®/XEPLION® and INVEGA TRINZA®/TREVICTA® were $75.6 million, compared to $68.8 million for the same period in the prior year. |
|
• |
Manufacturing and royalty revenues from AMPYRA/FAMPYRA® were $12.2 million, compared to $28.3 million for the same period in the prior year due to generic competition to AMPYRA entering the market in late 2018. |
|
• |
Research and development revenues from the collaboration with Biogen for diroximel fumarate (BIIB098) were $13.9 million, compared to $17.5 million for the same period in the prior year. |
Costs and Expenses
|
• |
Operating expenses were $299.1 million, compared to $287.0 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily reflecting increased investment in the commercialization of VIVITROL and ARISTADA. |
|
• |
Other expense during the quarter included a $22.6 million charge due to a decrease in the fair value of contingent consideration, related to Recro Pharma, Inc.’s receipt of a second complete response letter from the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the New Drug Application (NDA) for IV Meloxicam. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), including non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP net loss adjusts for one-time and non-cash charges by excluding from GAAP results: share-based compensation expense; amortization; depreciation; non-cash net interest expense; certain other one-time or non-cash items; and the income tax effect of these reconciling items.
The company’s management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance. The company provides these non-GAAP measures of the company’s performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and,
3
accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share should not be considered measures of our liquidity.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements set forth in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: the company’s future financial and operating performance, business plans or prospects; expectations concerning continued revenue growth from the company’s commercial products, including the growth of VIVITROL, ARISTADA and ARISTADA INITIO; expectations concerning the company’s continued investment in its development pipeline and commercial capabilities and the value that can be derived therefrom; the potential therapeutic and commercial value of the company’s marketed and development products; expectations concerning the timing and results of clinical development and regulatory activities, including the planned submission of an NDA for ALKS 3831, the FDA’s anticipated action with respect to the NDA for diroximel fumarate, and increasing momentum in the ALKS 4230 development program; and expectations concerning investment in commercial activities, including the potential launch of ALKS 3831. The company cautions that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Although the company believes that such statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, the forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees and they are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Actual performance and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: the unfavorable outcome of litigation, including so-called “Paragraph IV” litigation and other patent litigation, related to any of our products or products using our proprietary technologies, which may lead to competition from generic drug manufacturers; data from clinical trials may be interpreted by the FDA in different ways than we interpret it; the FDA may not agree with our regulatory approval strategies or components of our filings for our products, including our clinical trial designs, conduct and methodologies; clinical development activities may not be completed on time or at all; the results of our clinical development activities may not be positive, or predictive of real-world results or of results in subsequent clinical trials; regulatory submissions may not occur or be submitted in a timely manner; the company and its licensees may not be able to continue to successfully commercialize their products; there may be a reduction in payment rate or reimbursement for the company’s products or an increase in the company’s financial obligations to governmental payers; the FDA or regulatory authorities outside the U.S. may make adverse decisions regarding the company’s products; the company’s products may prove difficult to manufacture, be precluded from commercialization by the proprietary rights of third parties, or have unintended side effects, adverse reactions or incidents of misuse; and those risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent filings made by the company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, the company disclaims any intention or responsibility for updating or revising any forward-looking statements contained in this press release.
