SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired - February 18, 2015) - Theravance, Inc. (NASDAQ: THRX) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014. Royalties earned on net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® during the fourth quarter 2014 were $10.5 million, a 164% increase from the previous quarter. Net loss for the fourth quarter and full year 2014 was $15.9 million or $0.14 per share and $168.5 million or $1.50 per share, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and marketable securities totaled $283.4 million as of December 31, 2014.
"We are entering 2015 in a strong position with increased reimbursement in the U.S. for BREO® and ANORO®, an April 30, 2015 PDUFA date for the U.S. BREO® asthma supplemental NDA, and expect to report significant clinical data later in the year from the SUMMIT mortality study of RELVAR®/BREO®. We remain excited about the future opportunities for Theravance as we continue to work to achieve our goal of developing a strong and sustainable royalty management business with a lean corporate structure that is supported by our two respiratory products partnered with GSK," said Michael W. Aguiar, Chief Executive Officer of Theravance.
Highlights
Key Clinical and Regulatory Events for 2015
Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2014
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $7.3 million, which primarily resulted from royalties of $10.5 million from net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA®, offset by amortization of intangible assets of approximately $3.5 million. The majority of royalties were driven by sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $0.8 million compared with $2.5 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year was primarily due to the reduced level of operations as a result of the spin-off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc. in June 2014, as discussed below.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 and the same period of 2013 were both $6.4 million. Total general and administrative stock-based compensation expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $1.2 million compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 2013. A significant portion of the general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2014 was related to the continued transition activities as a result of the spin-off of Theravance Biopharma, Inc.
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities totaled $283.4 million as of December 31, 2014.
2014 Spin-Off
On June 1, 2014, Theravance separated its late-stage partnered respiratory assets from its biopharmaceutical research and drug development operations by transferring its research and drug development operations into Theravance Biopharma, a then wholly-owned subsidiary. Theravance contributed $393.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities to Theravance Biopharma and all outstanding shares of Theravance Biopharma were then distributed to its stockholders as a pro-rata dividend distribution on June 2, 2014 by issuing one ordinary share of Theravance Biopharma for every 3.5 shares held of Theravance common stock to stockholders of record on May 15, 2014 (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off resulted in Theravance Biopharma operating as an independent, publicly traded company.
The results of operations for Theravance's former research and drug development operations, Theravance Biopharma, following the spin-off of those operations on June 1, 2014, are included as part of the condensed consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains and the conference call will contain certain "forward-looking" statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, statements relating to goals, plans, objectives and future events. Theravance intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve substantial risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Examples of such statements include statements relating to: recommendations of the U.S. Food And Drug Administration's Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee with respect to BREO® ELLIPTA®, the commercialization of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and ANORO® ELLIPTA® in the jurisdictions in which these products have been approved, the strategies, plans and objectives of the company, the timing, manner, amount and planned growth of anticipated potential capital returns to stockholders (including without limitation statements, expectations of future cash dividends and the potential for future share repurchases), the status and timing of clinical studies, data analysis and communication of results, the potential benefits and mechanisms of action of product candidates, expectations for product candidates through development and commercialization, the timing of seeking regulatory approval of product candidates, and projections of revenue, expenses and other financial items. These statements are based on the current estimates and assumptions of the management of Theravance as of the date of this press release and the conference call and are subject to risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results of Theravance to be materially different from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, risks related to: the disruption of operations during the transition period following the spin-off, including the diversion of managements' and employees' attention, disruption of relationships with collaborators and increased employee turnover, lower than expected future royalty revenue from respiratory products partnered with GSK, delays or difficulties in commencing or completing clinical studies, the potential that results from clinical or non-clinical studies indicate product candidates are unsafe or ineffective, dependence on third parties to conduct its clinical studies, delays or failure to achieve and maintain regulatory approvals for product candidates, and risks of collaborating with third parties to discover, develop and commercialize products. Other risks affecting Theravance are described under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in Theravance's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on November 4, 2014. Additional information will also be set forth in those sections of Theravance's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which will be filed with the SEC in the first quarter of 2015. In addition to the risks described above and in Theravance's other filings with the SEC, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect Theravance's results. No forward-looking statements can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from such statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Theravance assumes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements on account of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
