| · | Royalties increased by 7% to $72.4 million in the second quarter of 2020, compared to the same quarter in 2019. |
| · | Pavel Raifeld named as Chief Executive Officer. |
| · | Invested $35 million into common stock and warrants of Entasis Therapeutics Holding Inc. (NASDAQ: ETTX), a leader in anti-infectives development. |
BURLINGAME, Calif., July 29, 2020 – Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVA) (the Company) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
| · | Gross royalty revenues of $72.4 million from Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”) for the second quarter of 2020 included royalties of $45.6 million from global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA®, royalties of $11.2 million from global net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA® and royalties of $15.6 million from global net sales of TRELEGY® ELLIPTA®.[1] |
| · | Changes in fair values of equity investments of $46.7 million reflected the unrealized gains of $13.4 million related to our investment in Armata Pharmaceuticals Inc. and $33.3 million related to our investment in Entasis Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. |
| · | Income before income taxes increased by 109% to $118.1 million, compared to the same quarter in 2019. |
| · | Net cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and marketable securities, excluding $4.9 million cash balance attributable to a variable interest entity, totaled $412.2 million, and receivables from GSK totaled $82.4 million, as of June 30, 2020. |
Pavel Raifeld, Chief Executive Officer, stated: “RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® global net sales decreased by 3% compared to the second quarter of 2019. U.S. net sales decreased by 11% as continued volume growth was more than offset by greater price discounting in the ICS/LABA sector. Non-U.S. sales increased by 2%, driven by sales growth in certain European markets, Japan and Canada.
ANORO® ELLIPTA® global net sales increased by 5% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter of the prior year. U.S. net sales increased by 7% due to significant volume growth, despite pricing pressure stemming from channel mix shift. Non-U.S. ANORO® ELLIPTA® net sales increased 2%, supported by growth in certain European markets. In addition, TRELEGY® ELLIPTA® global net sales were $240.5 million, compared to $151.4 million during comparable period a year ago.
While the ultimate COVID-19 impact remains uncertain, we have seen signs of normalization over the past quarter. We were pleased with the meaningful volume growth across the portfolio, despite the challenging environment and certain pandemic-related stockpiling earlier in the year,” continued Mr. Raifeld.
Mr. Raifeld concluded, “After spending several weeks at Innoviva, I am even more excited about the potential for significant shareholder value creation. Capital allocation and cost discipline remain our key priorities, and we expect to continue to opportunistically invest in promising, differentiated assets, such as those developed by Armata and Entasis, that address significant unmet medical needs and offer attractive return profiles.”
