Horizon Pharma plc Announces First-Quarter 2016 Financial Results

May 9, 2016

DUBLIN, IRELAND–(Marketwired – May 9, 2016) – Horizon Pharma plc (NASDAQ: HZNP), a biopharmaceutical company focused on improving patients’ lives by identifying, developing, acquiring and commercializing differentiated and accessible medicines that address unmet medical needs, announced its first-quarter 2016 financial results today and confirmed its full-year 2016 net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance.

“We achieved first-quarter net sales growth of 81 percent and we expect net sales, adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flows to increase sequentially as we progress through the year,” said Timothy P. Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon Pharma plc. “With the completion of enrollment in our Phase 3 clinical trial for ACTIMMUNE in Friedreich’s ataxia, a life-shortening, ultra-orphan, neurologic disease that currently has no FDA-approved treatment options, we are on track to receive data in December of this year, and assuming positive results, target a first-quarter 2017 sBLA regulatory submission.”

Company Highlights

First-quarter 2016 year-over-year sales growth of 81 percent was driven by each of the Company’s business units: Orphan, Rheumatology and Primary Care. The Company’s orphan medicines, which include RAVICTI, ACTIMMUNE, KRYSTEXXA and BUPHENYL, represented 40 percent of total net sales in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 22 percent of total net sales in the first quarter of 2015.
First-quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA of $72.0 million increased 122 percent. This represented 35.2 percent of first-quarter 2016 net sales, an increase of 650 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2015. First-quarter 2016 GAAP net loss was $(45.4) million, compared to a net loss of $(19.6) million in the first quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting higher intangible amortization and other expenses associated with acquisitions.
On May 5, 2016, patient enrollment was completed in the STEADFAST Phase 3 trial for ACTIMMUNE in Friedreich’s ataxia (FA), a life-shortening, ultra-orphan, neurologic disease with no FDA-approved treatment options. The Company expects to have data by the end of 2016.
On January 13, 2016, the Company acquired Crealta Holdings LLC and the orphan biologic medicine KRYSTEXXA indicated for chronic refractory gout.
In the U.S., the Company is pursuing an expanded RAVICTI indication for children with urea cycle disorders, or UCDs, who are two months to two years of age and expects to submit a supplemental new drug application to the FDA in the second quarter of 2016. The Company received approval for RAVICTI in Canada on March 21, 2016, and plans to launch mid-2016.
On May 4, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to purchase up to 5 million ordinary shares in the open market.

(1) RAVICTI and BUPHENYL were acquired on May 7, 2015.
(2) KRYSTEXXA and MIGERGOT were acquired on January 13, 2016.

Orphan Business Unit: The orphan commercial organization continues to drive awareness of RAVICTI and ACTIMMUNE among both patients and physicians. RAVICTI and BUPHENYL sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $37.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively. ACTIMMUNE sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $25.5 million and increased 3 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015. The Company has completed enrollment in the STEADFAST Phase 3 clinical trial for ACTIMMUNE in FA, and currently six patients are enrolled in a Phase 1 dosing trial evaluating ACTIMMUNE as a combination therapy for certain cancers. With an estimated 3,700 patients in the United States with FA, the Company believes an approved indication for ACTIMMUNE in FA could represent a $500 million to $1 billion peak annual net sales opportunity.
Rheumatology Business Unit: KRYSTEXXA sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $16.2 million, representing a partial quarter of sales following the close of the Crealta acquisition on January 13, 2016. Patients continue to enroll in the TRIPLE trial, which is evaluating a reduction in immunogenicity by increasing the frequency of dosing of KRYSTEXXA from every other week to every week for the first three weeks of treatment. In the first quarter, the Company completed the addition of new sales representatives and has approximately 85 in total supporting KRYSTEXXA, RAYOS and PENNSAID 2%. RAYOS sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $10.5 million and increased 46 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015.
Primary Care Business Unit: PENNSAID 2% sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $55.0 million and increased 201 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015. DUEXIS and VIMOVO sales in the first quarter of 2016 were $29.6 million and $25.5 million, respectively, and sequentially declined compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, as expected, due to seasonality and increased control by certain pharmacy benefit managers and payors. Total prescriptions for the primary care business unit increased 94 percent compared to the first quarter of 2015, driven primarily by strong performance of PENNSAID 2%.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA are used and provided by Horizon as non-GAAP financial measures. Horizon provides certain other financial measures such as adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted gross profit and gross profit ratio, adjusted operating and other expenses and adjusted cash from operations, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. Adjustments to Horizon’s GAAP figures as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition-related expenses, an upfront fee for a license of a patent, loss on debt extinguishment and loss on sale of long-term investments, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, royalty accretion, non-cash interest expense, and other non-cash adjustments. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon’s financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s historical and expected 2016 financial results and trends. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Horizon’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Horizon has not provided reconciliations of its 2016 adjusted EBITDA outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected, due to the significant impact of changes in Horizon’s stock price on share-based compensation, the variability associated with acquisition-related expenses due to timing and other factors.
