Alkermes plc Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended Dec. 31, 2021 and Provides Financial Expectations for 2022

 

Revenues of $1.17 Billion in 2021, GAAP Loss per Share of $0.30 and Diluted Non-GAAP Earnings per Share of $0.78

 

Financial Expectations for 2022 and Updated Long-Term Profitability Targets Reflect Focus on Proprietary Products and Continued Operating Efficiency

 

DUBLIN, Feb. 16, 2022 Alkermes plc (Nasdaq: ALKS) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2021 and provided financial expectations for 2022.

 

“In 2021, we made significant progress against our strategic priorities of growing our commercial business, expanding and advancing our development pipeline and driving profitability,” said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “The year was highlighted by the FDA approval and our commercial launch of our oral atypical antipsychotic, LYBALVI®, which joined ARISTADA®, our long-acting injectable antipsychotic, in our psychiatry franchise. We drove new growth with VIVITROL® in the alcohol dependence indication. We met important pipeline milestones, initiating potential registration-enabling studies for nemvaleukin and advancing our HDAC inhibitor and orexin development candidates. In 2022, we are focused on execution as we advance the commercial launch of LYBALVI, enroll our nemvaleukin clinical studies, demonstrate disciplined allocation of capital and manage the business to drive long-term profitability and value creation for our shareholders.”

Non-GAAP net income was $38.5 million for the quarter, or a non-GAAP basic earnings per share of $0.24 and diluted earnings per share of $0.23.

“In 2021, we managed the business to achieve the high end of our overall financial expectations, as we drove topline growth, continued to optimize our cost structure and focused on operational efficiencies.

Our financial expectations for the year reflect our continued focus on driving the growth of our proprietary products and disciplined capital allocation focused on opportunities with high potential return on investment in support of the company’s strategy and to drive shareholder value creation.”

 

 

Financial Expectations for 2022

The following financial expectations for 2022 assume improvement in COVID-19 pandemic-related disruptions, beginning in the second quarter. If current disruptions do not decrease as anticipated, or if new COVID-19-related disruptions emerge, the company’s ability to meet these expectations could be negatively impacted. These financial expectations also reflect removal of all royalties from worldwide sales of the long-acting INVEGA products beginning in 2022.  Alkermes has, to date, only received notice of partial termination relating to royalties from the long-acting INVEGA products in the U.S., after January 2022. Alkermes has not received a notice of termination from Janssen in respect of any markets outside the U.S. However, for financial planning purposes only, the company has decided to remove all royalties related to sales in markets outside the U.S. after May 2022. Alkermes continues to disagree with the position taken by Janssen and is prepared to pursue all options at its disposal to enforce its contractual rights and address any unauthorized use of its intellectual property.

+2022 per share expectations are calculated based on a weighted average basic share count of approximately 163.0 million shares outstanding and a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 166.5 million shares outstanding.

 

Mr. Brown continued, “Over the last several years, we have worked to position the business such that our topline performance will be fueled primarily by the growth of our proprietary products. We estimate that the early termination of the Janssen license agreement in the United States and the impact of its potential termination outside the United States would together reduce our total revenues by approximately $260 million in 2022. From an operational perspective, we have adapted our budget, recognizing that even if we are able to favorably resolve our situation with Janssen, that resolution could take time. Today we are updating our long-term profitability targets to reflect exclusion of worldwide royalties from the long-acting INVEGA products. In the


event that the situation with Janssen resolves in a manner favorable to Alkermes, or Janssen does not terminate our license agreement in markets outside the U.S., we would be positioned to accelerate the achievement of these targets. The revised profitability targets that we are announcing today reflect feedback from many of our institutional shareholders, our commitment to continued expense management and our focus on driving long-term profitability.”

 

Profitability Targets

The company today updated its long-term profitability targets to reflect the removal of all royalty revenues related to sales of the long-acting INVEGA products in the U.S. after January 2022 and outside the U.S. after May 2022. The company is not providing reconciliations of, or comparable GAAP measures for, the following updated non-GAAP profitability targets, as they are not determinable without unreasonable efforts.*

The company is committed to achieving:

 

 

FY 2025 non-GAAP net income equal to 25% of the company’s total revenues and EBITDAii margin of 20% of total revenues

 

FY 2026 non-GAAP net income equal to 30% of the company’s total revenues and EBITDA margin of 25% of total revenues

 

As a bridge to these long-term profitability targets, the company expects to achieve non-GAAP net income in the range of 15% to 20% of the company’s total revenues in FY 2024.

 

Recent Events:

 

Psychiatry and Addiction

 

In October 2021, the company presented clinical data and epidemiology and health economics and outcomes research from its psychiatry and addiction portfolios at scientific conferences, including Psych Congress, the International Society for Affective Disorders (ISAD) Conference, and the Neuroscience Education Institute (NEI) Congress.

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), non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, non-GAAP net income margin (non-GAAP net income/total revenue) and EBITDA margin (EBITDA/total revenue). 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. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization; earnings include share-based compensation expense.

 

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), non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, non-GAAP net income margin and EBITDA margin 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), non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, non-GAAP net income margin and EBITDA margin 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.

 

*The company has not provided full financial expectations for time periods after the year ending Dec. 31, 2022 and therefore is not providing reconciliations of, or comparable GAAP measures


for, non-GAAP net income margins or EBITDA margins, for time periods after the year ending Dec. 31, 2022. Reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP profitability measures to comparable GAAP measures are not determinable without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain future financial amounts necessary for such reconciliations, which amounts could have a significant impact on the company’s future financial results, including such non-GAAP profitability measures and the comparable GAAP financial measures.

 

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 expectations concerning its future financial and operating performance, business plans or prospects, including plans to drive growth, long-term profitability and shareholder value creation and the company’s profitability targets and its ability to achieve such targets; the potential impacts on the company of Janssen’s notice of partial termination ; the company’s expectations of improvement in COVID-19-related disruptions; the potential therapeutic and commercial value of the company’s marketed and development products; the company’s expectations concerning its future development activities and commercial activities, including in respect of investments in the company’s development pipeline and the launch of LYBALVI.

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, commercial and operating performance, business plans or prospects, including the company’s expectations of improvement in COVID-19 pandemic-related disruptions beginning in the second quarter of 2022; the potential therapeutic and commercial value of the company’s marketed and development products; and the company’s plans to execute on its 2022 strategic priorities, including with regard to its commercial portfolio, its development pipeline, and its financial expectations and long-term profitability targets.  The company cautions that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation 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, assumptions and uncertainties. These risks, assumptions and uncertainties include, among others: the company may not be able to achieve its targeted financial and profitability metrics in a timely manner or at all; the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and continued efforts to mitigate its spread on the company’s business, results of operations or financial condition; the unfavorable outcome of litigation, including so-called “Paragraph IV” litigation or other patent litigation which may lead to competition from generic drug manufacturers, or other disputes related to the company’s products or products using the company’s proprietary technologies; clinical 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, and preliminary data from ongoing studies may not be predictive of future or final data from such studies, results of future studies or real-world results; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory authorities may not agree with the company’s regulatory approval strategies or components of the company’s marketing applications or the adequacy of the data or other information included in the company’s regulatory submissions to support their requirements for approval, and may make adverse decisions regarding the company’s products; the company and its licensees may not be able to continue to successfully commercialize their products or support growth of revenue from such 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 government payers; 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, non-GAAP earnings per share and EBITDA. 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 non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, to the extent reasonably determinable, can be found in the Alkermes plc Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on Feb. 16, 2022 and in the Appendix of this presentation.
