Jazz Pharmaceuticals Announces First Quarter 2015 Financial Results

First Quarter 2015 Total Revenues of $309 Million, Driven by Strong Sales of Xyrem, Erwinaze and Defitelio

May 7, 2015 4:06 PM EDT

DUBLIN, May 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 and reaffirmed financial guidance for 2015.

"We are pleased with our strong top-line performance during the first quarter, driven by sales growth of our key products," said Bruce C. Cozadd, chairman and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc. "For 2015, we will remain focused on execution of our key objectives, including advancing our development pipeline, completing the rolling NDA submission for defibrotide, preparing for the potential launch of defibrotide in the U.S. and continuing our efforts to further diversify our business through corporate development activities."

Adjusted net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc for the first quarter of 2015 was $125.1 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared to $99.5 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014.

GAAP net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc for the first quarter of 2015 was $70.7 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc of $92.7 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014. GAAP net loss attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc for the first quarter of 2014 included acquired in-process research and development expense of $127.0 million. Reconciliations of applicable GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information are included in this press release.

First Quarter 2015 Revenues and Product SalesTotal revenues for the first quarter of 2015 were $309.3 million, an increase of 25% over total revenues of $246.9 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase in total revenues was driven primarily by higher net product sales of Xyrem® (sodium oxybate) oral solution, Erwinaze®/Erwinase® (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) and Defitelio® (defibrotide). Total revenues include net product sales, royalties and contract revenues.

Net product sales for the first quarter of 2015 were as follows:

  • Xyrem: Xyrem net sales increased by 33% to $212.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $160.4 million in the first quarter of 2014. During the first quarter of 2015, the average number of active Xyrem patients in the U.S. increased to approximately 12,375.
  • Erwinaze/Erwinase: Erwinaze/Erwinase net sales increased by 7% to $50.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $46.9 million in the first quarter of 2014.
  • Defitelio/defibrotide: Defitelio/defibrotide net sales increased by 15% to $17.4 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to pro forma net sales of $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. The pro forma information represents net sales of Defitelio/defibrotide as if the acquisition of Gentium S.p.A. (Gentium), which closed on January 23, 2014, had closed on January 1, 2014.
  • Prialt® (ziconotide) intrathecal infusion: Prialt net sales were $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $4.3 million in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in net sales was primarily due to lower sales in the first quarter of 2014 resulting from the timing of shipments to the exclusive wholesale distributor and central pharmacy for Prialt.
  • Psychiatry products: Net sales of the company's psychiatry products were $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared to $9.9 million in the first quarter of 2014.
  • Other: Net sales of other products in the first quarter of 2015 were $10.8 million compared to pro forma net sales of $11.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. On a pro forma basis, net sales of other products included net sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients by Gentium as if the Gentium acquisition had closed on January 1, 2014. On March 20, 2015, the company completed the sale of certain products and the related business that the company acquired as part of the acquisition of EUSA Pharma, Inc. (EUSA Pharma) in 2012.

Tables showing actual net product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and actual and pro forma net product sales for the same period in 2014 are included in this press release.

Operating Expenses and Other Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $192.5 million on a GAAP basis compared to $313.6 million for the first quarter of 2014. Operating expenses decreased over the prior period primarily due to acquired in-process research and development expenses of $127.0 million on a GAAP basis for the first quarter of 2014, which was comprised of upfront and milestone payments made in connection with the company's acquisition of rights to JZP-110. Other changes in operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

  • Cost of product sales for the first quarter of 2015 was $28.3 million on a GAAP basis compared to $30.9 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease was primarily due to acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up adjustments of $8.0 million in the first quarter of 2014, which were partially offset by an increase in net sales. Gross margin for the first quarter of 2015 was 90.8% compared to 87.4% for the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up adjustments in the first quarter of 2014.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $112.4 million on a GAAP basis compared to $106.4 million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $95.0 million compared to $77.6 million for the same period in 2014, or 31% of total revenues for both periods. The increase in both GAAP and adjusted SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher headcount and expenses resulting from the expansion of the company's business, including an increase in marketing and promotional expenses and an increase in professional services expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses on a GAAP basis was partially offset by a decrease in transaction and integration costs.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $27.2 million on a GAAP basis compared to $18.1 million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2015 were $23.7 million, or 8% of total revenues, compared to $15.5 million, or 6% of total revenues, for the same period in 2014. The increase in both GAAP and adjusted R&D expenses was primarily driven by increased costs for the development of the company's product candidates and life cycle management activities related to the company's existing products, including expenses related to the regulatory submission in the U.S. of a new drug application (NDA) for defibrotide for the treatment of severe hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD).

Net interest expense for the first quarter of 2015 was $16.2 million compared to $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase was due to the company's higher debt levels following the sale in August 2014 of $575.0 million principal amount of 1.875% exchangeable senior notes due 2021.

As of March 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $782.6 million and the outstanding principal balance of the company's long-term debt was $1.5 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased from December 31, 2014 primarily due to cash generated by the business and proceeds from the sale of certain products acquired as part of the acquisition of EUSA Pharma, offset in part by cash used to fund capital expenditures and the repurchase of ordinary shares under the company's share repurchase program.

In the first quarter of 2015, the company repurchased 0.1 million ordinary shares under its share repurchase program for $10.3 million at an average cost of $164.54 per ordinary share. As of March 31, 2015, the amount remaining under the current share repurchase program was $11.0 million.

Recent DevelopmentsKaren Smith, M.D., Ph.D joined the company as the Global Head of Research and Development and Chief Medical Officer on April 13, 2015. Dr. Smith brings more than 20 years of experience in the industry, and a track record of success in global development, medical affairs and lifecycle management.

About Jazz Pharmaceuticals plcJazz Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: JAZZ) is an international biopharmaceutical company focused on improving patients' lives by identifying, developing and commercializing meaningful products that address unmet medical needs. The company has a diverse portfolio of products and product candidates with a focus in the areas of sleep and hematology/oncology. In these areas, Jazz Pharmaceuticals markets Xyrem® (sodium oxybate) oral solution and Erwinaze® (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi) in the U.S., and markets Erwinase® and Defitelio® (defibrotide) in Europe and other countries outside the U.S. For more information, please visit www.jazzpharmaceuticals.com.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as "adjusted" or "non-GAAP adjusted") financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. The company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures is helpful in understanding its past financial performance and potential future results, particularly in light of the effect of various acquisition and divestiture transactions effected by the company.  They are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.  Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. Compensation of executives is based in part on the performance of the company's business based on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, Jazz Pharmaceuticals believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it enhances the ability of investors to compare its results from period-to-period and allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the company uses in making operating decisions, and also because the company's investors and analysts regularly use them to model and track the company's financial performance.

Investors should note that these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time-to-time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; likewise, the company has ceased and may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. In this regard, commencing with the company's presentation of 2015 non-GAAP financial measures, the company no longer includes an adjustment for depreciation expense in its non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. Likewise, for purposes of comparability, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for 2014 included in this press release and accompanying tables do not include an adjustment for depreciation expense. In addition, because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by the company's competitors and other companies.

As used in this press release, (i) the historical adjusted net income measures attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures) exclude from GAAP reported net income (loss) attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures), as applicable, intangible asset amortization, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, transaction and integration costs, acquired in-process research and development expenses, acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up adjustments and non-cash interest expense; adjust the income tax provision to the estimated amount of taxes that are payable in cash; and adjust for the amount attributable to noncontrolling interests; (ii) the historical adjusted SG&A expense measures exclude from GAAP SG&A expenses, as applicable, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and transaction and integration costs; (iii) the historical adjusted R&D expense measures exclude from GAAP R&D expenses, as applicable, share-based compensation expense and transaction and integration costs; (iv) the adjusted net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures) guidance exclude from estimated GAAP net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures) intangible asset amortization, share-based compensation expense, upfront and milestone payments, transaction, integration and restructuring costs and non-cash interest expense; and adjust the income tax provision to the estimated amount of taxes that are payable in cash; (v) the adjusted gross margin percentage guidance excludes from estimated GAAP gross margin percentage share-based compensation expense; (vi) the adjusted SG&A expenses guidance excludes from estimated GAAP SG&A expenses share-based compensation expense and transaction, integration and restructuring costs; (vii) the adjusted R&D expenses guidance excludes from estimated GAAP R&D expenses share-based compensation expense and a potential milestone payment; and (viii) the adjusted interest expense guidance excludes from estimated GAAP interest expense non-cash interest expense.

JAZZ PHARMACEUTICALS PLCRECONCILIATIONS OF GAAP REPORTED TO NON-GAAP ADJUSTED INFORMATIONCERTAIN LINE ITEMS AND OTHER INFORMATION(In thousands)(Unaudited)

*

Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc and its line item components and related non-GAAP adjusted financial measures shown in the tables above are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP reported measures, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company believes that each of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures is helpful in understanding its past financial performance and potential future results, particularly in light of the effect of various acquisition and divestiture transactions effected by the company. Company management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. Compensation of executives is based in part on the performance of the company's business based on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, the company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures is useful to investors because it enhances the ability of investors to compare its results from period-to-period and allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the company uses in making operating decisions, and also because the company's investors and analysts regularly use them to model and track the company's financial performance. Specifically, the company believes that each of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures provides useful information to management, investors and analysts by excluding, as applicable, intangible asset amortization, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, transaction and integration costs, acquired in-process research and development expenses, acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up adjustments and non-cash interest expense that may not be indicative of the company's core operating results and business outlook, and by including adjustments to convert the income tax provision to the estimated amount of taxes that are payable in cash and adjustments for the amount attributable to noncontrolling interests. Investors should note that these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time-to-time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP adjusted financial measures; likewise, the company has ceased and may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. In this regard, commencing with the company's presentation of 2015 non-GAAP financial measures, the company no longer includes an adjustment for depreciation expense in its non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. Likewise, for purposes of comparability, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for 2014 included herein do not include an adjustment for depreciation expense. In addition, because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, the non-GAAP adjusted financial measures appearing herein may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by the company's competitors and other companies.

 

Explanation of Adjustments and Certain Line Items:

(a)

Share-based compensation expense of $695 and $181 and acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up adjustments of $0 and $8,022 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(b)

Share-based compensation expense of $16,639 and $11,175, restructuring charges of $553 and $0 and transaction and integration costs of $155 and $17,599 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(c)

Share-based compensation expense of $3,485 and $2,459 and transaction and integration costs of $0 and $134 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(d)

Non-cash interest expense associated with debt discount and debt issuance costs for the respective three-month period.

(e)

Sum of adjustments (a) through (d) plus the adjustments for acquired in-process research and development expenses and intangible asset amortization, as applicable, for the respective three-month period.

(f)

Adjustments to convert the income tax provision to the estimated amount of taxes payable in cash for the respective three-month period.

(g)

Income tax provision divided by income before income tax provision for the respective three-month period (for the three months ended March 31, 2014, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis only).

(h)

The GAAP effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 is not meaningful because there was a loss before income tax provision during the period. After adjusting the loss before income tax provision by excluding acquired in-process research and development expense of $127,000, we would have had income before income tax provision of $50,388, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 based on the income tax provision of $17,027.

(i)

Net of adjustments (e) and (f) for the respective three-month period.

(j)

Adjustments for amount attributable to noncontrolling interests for the respective three-month period.

(k)

Net of adjustments (i) and (j) for the respective three-month period.
