Innoviva Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

 

·Total net revenue increased by 7% to $65.8 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to the same quarter in 2018.

 

·Income before income taxes increased by 15% to $57.6 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to the same quarter in 2018.

 

BRISBANE, Calif., October 30, 2019 – Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVA) (the Company) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019.

 

·Gross royalty revenues of $69.2 million from Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”) for the third quarter of 2019 included royalties of $46.4 million from global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®, royalties of $11.6 million from global net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA® and $11.2 million from global net sales of TRELEGY® ELLIPTA®.1

 

·Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $5.0 million, compared with $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2018. The amount for the third quarter of 2019 included $2.8 million legal and related fees for the arbitration initiated by Thervanace Biopharma, Inc. against the Company and Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (“TRC”). Per the final decision of the arbitrator in September 2019, these expenses will be reimbursed by TRC. TRC’s expenses are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The amount for the third quarter of 2019 also included $0.6 million in expenses associated with the termination of our Brisbane office lease. Stock-based compensation for the third quarter of 2019 was $0.5 million, compared to ($0.9) million for the third quarter of 2018 due to a reversal of $1.9 million expense in connection with the separation of senior management members.

 

·Net cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities totaled $297.2 million, and royalties receivable from GSK totaled $69.2 million, as of September 30, 2019.

 

“Global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® decreased 10% versus the third quarter of 2018. U.S. net sales declined 32% as increased pricing discounts in the ICS/LABA sector offset volume growth. Non-U.S. sales growth increased 14% versus the third quarter of 2018, driven by continued market share gains in certain European markets and growth in Japan. Non-U.S. sales growth was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation; in constant exchange rates (CER), RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® non-US net sales grew 21%.”

 

“ANORO® ELLIPTA® global net sales grew 18% in the third quarter of 2019. U.S. net sales grew 17%, compared to the same quarter of 2018, as increased volume growth offset higher levels of sales through market segments with higher rebates. Non-U.S. ANORO® ELLIPTA® net sales grew 20% year over year in the quarter. The rate of growth increased from the second quarter of 2019 even after a negative impact from foreign currency translation. On a CER basis, ANORO® ELLIPTA® non-U.S. net sales grew 27%. In addition, TRELEGY® ELLIPTA global net sales were $172.8 million,” stated Geoffrey Hulme, Interim Principal Executive Officer.

 

 

 

 

Hulme continued, “In the quarter, although U.S. RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® net sales were again impacted in part by weaker pricing that has occurred following the launch of generic versions of Advair, non-U.S. net sales for RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® grew strongly year over year and comprised 60% of global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®. US net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA® returned to growth and non-US net sales grew strongly.”

 

“During the third quarter, our core operating expenses were similar to the levels in the second quarter. As part of our ongoing focus on operating expenses, we secured a termination of our Brisbane office lease. Our office relocation to Burlingame will result in a meaningful reduction in our lease liability and annual rent expense. The ratio of operating cash flow to net royalty revenues was strong in the quarter. The board and management continue to study potential strategic actions to maximize future shareholder value.”
