Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, Radius reported a net loss of $49.8 million, or $1.09 per share, compared to a net loss of $57.8 million, or $1.31 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, non-GAAP adjusted net loss, which excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, restructuring plans, non-cash interest obligations under debt obligations, and amortization of intangible assets, was $38.8 million, or $0.85 per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $49.3 million, or $1.12 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, TYMLOS net product revenues were $27.6 million compared to approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $26.8 million compared to $21.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $5.8 million, or 28%. This increase was primarily driven by a $2.8 million increase in elacestrant project costs, a $2.3 million increase in abaloparatide-patch project costs, a $1.0 million increase in abaloparatide-SC project costs, and a $0.8 million increase in RAD140 project costs. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in other project related spending, and $0.5 million decrease in personnel related spending attributed to a decrease in headcount from 105 research and development employees as of September 30, 2017 to 95 research and development employees as of September 30, 2018.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, selling, general and administrative expense was $43.7 million compared to $47.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 9%. This decrease was primarily the result of $2.8 million and $0.9 million decreases in compensation and travel related expenses, respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Radius reported a net loss of $180.2 million, or $3.98 per share, compared to a net loss of $183.2 million, or $4.21 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, non-GAAP adjusted net loss, which excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, restructuring plans, non-cash interest obligations under debt obligations, litigation related payments, and amortization of intangible assets, was $134.4 million, or $2.97 per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $154.2 million, or $3.54 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, TYMLOS net product revenues were $64.8 million compared to approximately $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Research and development expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $76.0 million compared to $60.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $15.8 million, or 26%. This increase was primarily driven by a $7.6 million increase in elacestrant project costs, a $4.0 million increase in abaloparatide-SC project costs, a $3.8 million increase in abaloparatide-patch project costs, and a $2.1 million increase in RAD140 project costs. These increases were partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in other project related spending and a $0.9 million decrease in compensation and travel related expenses attributed to a decrease in headcount from 105 research and development employees as of September 30, 2017 to 95 research and development employees as of September 30, 2018.

Selling, general, and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $140.3 million compared to $135.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $4.3 million, or 3%. This increase was primarily the result of $2.5 million and $0.7 million increases in compensation and travel related expenses, respectively attributed to an increase in headcount from 361 selling, general and administrative employees as of September 30, 2017 to 384 selling, general and administrative employees as of September 30, 2018. Additionally, there was a $0.8 million increase in professional fees and other operating expenses.

As of September 30, 2018, Radius had $276.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities and investments. Based upon our cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and investments balance as of September 30, 2018, we believe that, prior to the consideration of potential proceeds from partnering and/or collaboration activities, we have sufficient capital to fund our development plans, U.S. commercial and other operational activities for not less than twelve months from the date of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain amounts or expenses from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, taken in conjunction with Radius’ GAAP financial statements, because it provides greater transparency regarding Radius’ operating performance. Management uses these measures, among other factors, to assess and analyze operational results and trends and to make financial and operational decisions. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of Radius’ operating results as reported under GAAP, not in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts. Reconciliations between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018 are included in the tables accompanying this press release after the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

About Radius Radius is a science-driven fully integrated biopharmaceutical company that is committed to developing and commercializing innovative endocrine therapeutics in the areas of osteoporosis and oncology. Radius’ lead product, TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. The Radius clinical pipeline includes an investigational abaloparatide patch for potential use in osteoporosis; the investigational drug elacestrant (RAD1901) for potential use in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer; and the investigational drug RAD140, a non-steroidal, selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) under investigation for potential use in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. For more information, please visit www.radiuspharm.com.

About TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture defined as history of osteoporotic fracture, multiple risk factors for fracture, or patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy. Radius also is developing abaloparatide-patch based on 3M Company's patented Microstructured Transdermal System technology for potential use as a treatment for postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.

About ACTIVE and ACTIVExtend The Phase 3 ACTIVE (Abaloparatide Comparator Trial In Vertebral Endpoints) trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, comparative, multicenter, 18 month international study in 2,463 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-SC 80 mcg to reduce the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. The results of ACTIVE were published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in August of 2016. ACTIVExtend, an extension of ACTIVE, enrolled patients who had completed 18 months of abaloparatide-SC or placebo in ACTIVE to receive up to 24 additional months of open-label alendronate. The results of ACTIVExtend were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM) in May 2018.

About Elacestrant (RAD1901) Elacestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), which is being evaluated for potential use as a once daily oral treatment for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. Elacestrant is currently being investigated for potential use in women with advanced estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative, breast cancer, the most common form of the disease. Studies completed to date indicate that the compound has the potential for use as a single agent or in combination with other therapies for the treatment of breast cancer.

About RAD140 RAD140 is a non-steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). The androgen receptor (AR) is frequently expressed in many estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, ER-negative, and triple-negative breast cancers. Because of its receptor and tissue selectivity, potent activity, oral bioavailability, and long half-life, RAD140 could have clinical potential in the treatment of breast cancer. RAD140 resulted from an internal drug discovery program focused on the androgen receptor pathway and exhibits a differentiated mechanism of action compared to ER-targeted therapy.
