Alkermes Plc Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended Dec. 31, 2019, and Provides Financial Expectations for 2020

— Revenues of $1.17 Billion in 2019, Driven by Year-Over-Year Growth of Proprietary Product Net Sales and VUMERITY® Milestone Payment

— 2019 GAAP Net Loss per Share of $1.25 and Diluted Non-GAAP
Earnings per Share of $0.71

Financial Expectations for 2020 Reflect Growth of Proprietary Products and Impact of Strategic Restructuring

 

DUBLIN, Ireland, Feb. 13, 2020 Alkermes plc (Nasdaq: ALKS) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2019 and provided financial expectations for 2020.

 

“2019 was an important year for Alkermes as we took active steps to shape the future of our business and continued to make a real-world impact in the treatment of serious diseases. We made significant progress on three fronts: driving growth in our proprietary product portfolio, advancing and expanding our diversified neuroscience and oncology pipeline, and positioning the business for long-term growth and future profitability,” said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “Looking ahead, our priorities for 2020 are clear as we focus on commercial execution for VIVITROL® and ARISTADA®, prepare for potential approval and launch of ALKS 3831, advance the development of ALKS 4230, and continue to develop our pipeline of preclinical assets. We remain steadfast in our commitment to be a positive force for change through our science, our medicines, and our advocacy, as we advance patient-centered care.”

 

Quarter Ended Dec. 31, 2019 Financial Highlights

 

Total revenues for the quarter were $412.7 million. This compared to $315.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

 

Net loss according to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) was $5.4 million for the quarter, or a basic and diluted GAAP loss per share of $0.03. This compared to GAAP net loss of $9.7 million, or a basic and diluted GAAP loss per share of $0.06, for the same period in the prior year.

 

Non-GAAP net income was $131.4 million for the quarter, or a non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.83. This compared to non-GAAP net income of $54.8 million, or a non-GAAP basic earnings per share of $0.35 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.34, for the same period in the prior year.

 

In October 2019, Alkermes implemented a strategic restructuring plan, which included the elimination of approximately 160 current positions across the organization, a decrease in the company's expected near-term hiring plans and the implementation of cost-saving measures related to external spend. These efforts are expected to result in cost savings of approximately $150 million in 2020.

 

In November 2019, Alkermes completed the acquisition of Rodin Therapeutics, Inc. (Rodin), a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel, small molecule therapeutics for synaptopathies. At the closing of the transaction, Alkermes made a cash payment of $98.1 million to Rodin's former security holders. This upfront cash payment was funded by Alkermes' available cash and was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with $86.6 million of this upfront payment recorded as research and development (R&D) expense in the quarter.

Our 2019 results reflect volume growth of VIVITROL and ARISTADA, continued strength of our royalty and manufacturing portfolio and investment in the commercialization of our products and our research and development pipeline,” commented James Frates, Chief Financial Officer of Alkermes. “We enter 2020 well positioned to drive growth of our proprietary product portfolio and advance our pipeline of novel oncology and neuroscience candidates. Our financial expectations for 2020 reflect anticipated net

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (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 income (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 income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (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.

Slide 2

Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Financial Information Certain statements set forth in this presentation 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 expectations with respect to its future financial and operating performance, business plans or prospects, including expected revenue growth and non-GAAP net income growth, including continued growth of revenue from the company’s commercial products and expectations regarding the related gross-to-net deductions, and the expected impact of the restructuring, including cost savings that may be achieved in connection therewith; the potential therapeutic and commercial value of the company’s marketed and development products; timelines, plans and expectations for development activities relating to the company’s products and product development candidates, including progress across the ARTISTRY clinical development program for ALKS 4230 and emerging data from such program, and IND-enabling activities for the company’s HDAC inhibitor platform; the company’s expectations regarding the timing of regulatory action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in respect of the new drug application (“NDA”) for ALKS 3831 for the treatment of schizophrenia and the treatment of bipolar I disorder and the company’s expectations and timelines for commercial activities, including preparations for the potential launch of ALKS 3831. The company cautions that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. 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, assumptions and uncertainties include, among others: that the expected annual cost savings related to the company’s implementation of a restructuring may not be achieved or may be lower than anticipated; the unfavorable outcome of litigation, including so-called “Paragraph IV” litigation and other patent litigation, related to any of the company’s products, which may lead to competition from generic drug manufacturers; data from clinical trials may be interpreted by the FDA in different ways than the company interprets it; the FDA may not agree with the company’s regulatory approval strategies or components of the company’s filings for its products, including its clinical trial designs, conduct and methodologies or the adequacy of the company’s filings or the data included in the company’s filings to support the FDA’s requirements for approval of the proposed indications; the company’s development activities may not be completed on time or at all; the results of the company’s development activities may not be positive, or predictive of real-world results or of results in subsequent trials, and preliminary or interim results of the company’s development activities may not be predictive of final results of such activities, results of future preclinical or clinical trials or real-world results; regulatory submissions may not occur or be submitted or approved 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, assumptions 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, and on the company’s website at www.alkermes.com in the ‘Investors – SEC filings’ section. 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 presentation. Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This presentation 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 income and non-GAAP earnings 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. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the Alkermes plc Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on Feb. 13, 2020. Note Regarding Trademarks: The company is the owner of various U.S. federal trademark registrations (®) and other trademarks (TM), including ARISTADA®, ARISTADA INITIO® and VIVITROL®.
