Innoviva Reports First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

· Total net revenue increased by 43% to $78.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the same quarter in 2019.

 

· Income before income taxes increased by 96% to $94.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to the same quarter in 2019.

 

BURLINGAME, Calif., April 29, 2020 Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVA) (“Innoviva”, or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020.

 

· Gross royalty revenues of $82.1 million from Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”) for the first quarter of 2020 included royalties of $56.1 million from global net sales of RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® , royalties of $9.9 million from global net sales of ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® and $16.1 million from global net sales of TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA ® . 1

 

· Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $2.6 million, compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2019. Stock-based compensation for the first quarter of 2020 was $0.4 million, compared to $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2019.

 

· Changes in fair values of equity investments in the amount of $21.9 million as of March 31, 2020 reflect the unrealized gains and fair value changes between the total estimated fair value of $46.9 million of our investment in both common stock and warrants of Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Armata”) and the total purchase price of $25.0 million.

 

· Net cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities totaled $384.0 million, and royalties receivable from GSK totaled $82.1 million, as of March 31, 2020.

 

“Global net sales of RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® increased 31% versus the first quarter of 2019. U.S. net sales increased by 47% as increased pricing discounts in the ICS/LABA sector were offset by a one-time significant positive prior period rebate adjustment and continued volume growth. Non-U.S. sales increased 23% versus the first quarter of 2019, driven by sales growth in certain European markets and in Japan. ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® global net sales increased 15% in the first quarter of 2020. U.S. net sales increased 8% as volume growth offset price pressure from increased amounts of sales through market segments with higher rebates. Non-U.S. ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® net sales grew 24% year over year in the quarter supported by growth in certain European markets. In addition, TRELEGY ® ELLIPTA global net sales were $248.2 million,” stated Geoffrey Hulme, Interim Principal Executive Officer.

 

Hulme continued, “At this point, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global sales of our three collaboration products is uncertain. Based on our end-market observations, first quarter sales levels may have benefited from unspecified levels of increased patient inventory stocking. Also, the significant RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® positive prior period rebate adjustment that occurred during the first quarter is not likely to recur in future quarters.”

 

 

 

Hulme concluded, “After the end of the quarter, we were pleased to announce the first closing of a new investment in Entasis Therapeutics, a company focused on the development of novel antibiotics to address multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacteria. Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections pose an increasing global health risk and are creating a growing need for new treatment options. Innoviva’s investment will help Entasis continue to develop two antibiotics currently in phase three trials. The Armata and Entasis transactions are part of our ongoing efforts to pursue capital allocation options that maximize future shareholder value.”
