“Our achievements in the second quarter demonstrated continued execution against our strategic priorities. Our strong commercial performance, the FDA approval of LYBALVI and the accumulating data and operational progress in our nemvaleukin immuno-oncology program represent important milestones for the company and provide a meaningful platform to drive future growth,” said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “Guided by our intense focus on value creation, our objectives for the remainder of 2021 are clear: successfully launch LYBALVI; drive the growth of VIVITROL and ARISTADA; advance the clinical development program for nemvaleukin; and invest in our emerging neuroscience and oncology pipeline assets.”

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 certain 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 the company’s liquidity.

 

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
