— Third Quarter Revenues Increased to $248.7 Million, Driven by 24% Year-Over-Year Growth of Proprietary Product Net Sales —

— Company Reports GAAP Net Loss per Share of $0.22 and Diluted Non-GAAP Earnings per Share of $0.07 —

— Company Increases Financial Expectations for 2018 —

DUBLIN, Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Alkermes plc (Nasdaq: ALKS) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2018.

"Our solid results in the quarter were in-line with expectations, driven by the growth of our proprietary commercial products, the continued strength of our royalty and manufacturing business, and the important investments we are making in our late-stage pipeline and commercial organization," commented James Frates, Chief Financial Officer of Alkermes. "Our diverse business is financially strong and we are well positioned to execute on our strategy to drive value and long-term growth. Based on our outlook for the remainder of the year, today we are raising our financial expectations for 2018, primarily driven by upside from AMPYRA® revenues."

Quarter Ended Sept. 30, 2018 Financial Highlights

  • Total revenues for the quarter were $248.7 million. This compared to $217.4 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of 14%. Proprietary product net sales for VIVITROL® and ARISTADA® were $116.0 million for the quarter, reflecting a 24% increase compared to the same period in the prior year.
  • Net loss according to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) was $34.4 million for the quarter, or a basic and diluted GAAP net loss per share of $0.22. This compared to GAAP net loss of $36.3 million, or a basic and diluted GAAP net loss per share of $0.24, for the same period in the prior year.
  • Non-GAAP net income was $11.6 million for the quarter, or a non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.07. This compared to non-GAAP net income of $4.2 million, or a non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.03, for the same period in the prior year.

"The third quarter was highlighted by the launch of ARISTADA INITIO®1, the newest addition to the ARISTADA product family. This new offering is resonating with healthcare providers and the early trends are encouraging. ARISTADA INITIO further differentiates ARISTADA in the market and provides an opportunity to address unmet patient need," stated Jim Robinson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Alkermes. "We are also making important strides with VIVITROL as the product continues to grow and as policymakers continue to activate in their response to the opioid crisis. We look forward to providing updates on our progress."

Quarter Ended Sept. 30, 2018 Financial Results

Revenues

  • Net sales of VIVITROL were $79.9 million, compared to $69.2 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately 15%.
  • Net sales of ARISTADA were $36.1 million, compared to $24.5 million for the same period in the prior year, representing an increase of approximately 48%.
  • Manufacturing and royalty revenues from RISPERDAL CONSTA®, INVEGA SUSTENNA®/XEPLION® and INVEGA TRINZA®/TREVICTA® were $77.2 million, compared to $79.4 million for the same period in the prior year, reflecting the timing of RISPERDAL CONSTA manufacturing shipments.
  • Manufacturing and royalty revenues from AMPYRA/FAMPYRA®2 were $20.3 million, compared to $24.5 million for the same period in the prior year.
  • Research and development revenues were $16.3 million, of which $15.7 million related to the collaboration with Biogen for BIIB098, or diroximel fumarate.

Costs and Expenses

  • Operating expenses were $285.9 million, compared to $255.7 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily reflecting increased investment in the commercialization of VIVITROL and ARISTADA.

"Against the backdrop of the highly-anticipated upcoming regulatory interactions for ALKS 5461 for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder and the ALKS 3831 ENLIGHTEN-2 pivotal study data in schizophrenia, we continue to make important progress across our other pipeline assets. BIIB098 for multiple sclerosis is on track for NDA submission by year-end and ALKS 4230, our immuno-oncology program, is gaining momentum, highlighted by the recent initiation of combination therapy evaluation," said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. "Our results this quarter demonstrate the strong and resilient company we have carefully built over the years, with important medicines driving an expected topline in excess of $1 billion and a diverse development portfolio of late-stage product candidates, each with the potential to impact the practice of medicine and change the growth trajectory of the company. As we head into the fourth quarter, the business is well positioned for growth and the opportunities ahead."

Financial Expectations for 2018

Alkermes is updating its financial expectations for 2018 to reflect greater than expected revenues from AMPYRA. The following outlines Alkermes' updated financial expectations for 2018.

  • Revenues: The company now expects total revenues to range from $1.015 billion to $1.045 billion, increased from its previous expectation of $975 million to $1.025 billion.  This increase was driven by upside from AMPYRA following delayed generic competition in 2018. Included in this total revenue expectation, Alkermes continues to expect VIVITROL net sales to range from $300 million to $330 million, although closer to the lower end of this range, and ARISTADA net sales to range from $140 million to $160 million.
  • Cost of Goods Manufactured and Sold: The company continues to expect cost of goods manufactured and sold to range from $180 million to $190 million.
  • Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: The company continues to expect R&D expenses to range from $415 million to $445 million.
  • Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: The company continues to expect SG&A expenses to range from $515 million to $545 million.
  • Amortization of Intangible Assets: The company continues to expect amortization of intangibles to be approximately $65 million.
  • Net Interest Expense: The company continues to expect net interest expense to be approximately $10 million.
  • Income Tax Expense: The company continues to expect income tax expense of up to $10 million.
  • GAAP Net Loss: The company now expects GAAP net loss to range from $180 million to $210 million, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $1.16 to $1.35, based on a weighted average basic and diluted share count of approximately 155 million shares outstanding. This compares to previous expectations of GAAP net loss in the range of $210 million to $240 million, or a basic and diluted loss per share of $1.35 to $1.55, based on a weighted average basic and diluted share count of approximately 155 million shares outstanding.
  • Non-GAAP Net Income: The company now expects non-GAAP results to range from non-GAAP net income of $20 million to $50 million, or a non-GAAP basic earnings per share of $0.13 to $0.32 and a non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.12 to $0.31, based on a weighted average basic share count of approximately 155 million shares outstanding and a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 161 million shares outstanding. This compares to previous expectations of non-GAAP net results in the range of non-GAAP net loss of $10 million to non-GAAP net income of $20 million, or a basic and diluted non-GAAP net loss per share of $0.06 to a non-GAAP basic earnings per share of $0.13 and a non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.12, based on a weighted average basic share count of approximately 155 million shares outstanding and a weighted average diluted share count of approximately 161 million shares outstanding.
  • Share-Based Compensation: The company continues to expect share-based compensation of approximately $120 million.
  • Capital Expenditures: The company now expects capital expenditures to range from $65 million to $75 million, compared to a previous expectation in the range of $80 million to $90 million.

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 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.

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: future financial and operating performance, business plans or prospects; the likelihood of continued revenue growth from the company's commercial products, including the growth of VIVITROL and ARISTADA; the potential therapeutic and commercial value of the company's marketed and development products,  and patient access to, and policy related to, such products; expectations concerning the timing and results of clinical development and regulatory activities, including the timing of the phase 3 clinical trial (ENLIGHTEN-2) data readout for ALKS 3831, the timing of the submission of the NDA for BIIB098, the timing of presentation of initial data from the ALKS 4230 phase 1 study and initiation of a subcutaneous dosing phase 1 study for ALKS 4230, and the outcome and timing of the FDA's review of the NDA for ALKS 5461. 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 and, for ALKS 5461, evidence of efficacy and adequacy of bridging to buprenorphine; 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.
