TAMPA, FL, February 29, 2024 - Pacira BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCRX), the industry leader in its commitment to non-opioid pain management and regenerative health solutions, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2023.

“Now that I have spent several weeks working with the Pacira team, I am even more enthusiastic to lead this great company as we build upon an impressive foundation of success,” said Frank D. Lee, chief executive officer of Pacira BioSciences. “Looking ahead, we are sharply focused on driving long-term growth, furthering our patient centric culture and establishing high standards for operational excellence. Throughout 2024, we plan to advance the launch of EXPAREL in two key lower extremity nerve blocks and prepare for the significant catalyst ahead in NOPAIN. In parallel, we are taking the necessary steps to reallocate our efforts and resources to ensure the organization is best positioned for sustainable success.
We have the people, the purpose, and the products to change the course of pain management and, hopefully, to help save patients from the deadly effects of opioid addiction.”
2023 Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Highlights
•Fourth quarter revenues of $181.2 million and full-year revenues of $675.0 million.
•Fourth quarter GAAP net income of $24.9 million or $0.54 per basic share and $0.50 per diluted share and full-year GAAP net income of $42.0 million or $0.91 per basic share and $0.89 per diluted share.
•Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA of $65.4 million and full-year adjusted EBITDA of $214.5 million.
See “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below.
Recent Business Highlights
•FDA Approval of New EXPAREL 200-liter Manufacturing Suite. In February 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the company’s supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for its 200-liter EXPAREL manufacturing suite in San Diego, CA. The company expects to start selling commercial product manufactured at this 200-liter suite later this year, which will help drive a more favorable mix of commercial product sold and benefit EXPAREL gross margins over time.
•Frank D. Lee Appointed as Chief Executive Officer. In December 2023, the company’s Board of Directors appointed Frank D. Lee as chief executive officer and a member of the Board, effective January 2, 2024. Mr. Lee brings more than three decades of global experience and a strong track


record of product development and commercial leadership success across a wide range of therapeutic areas within the biotech and pharmaceutical industry. Most recently he served as chief executive officer and member of the board of directors of Forma Therapeutics from March 2019 through its acquisition by Novo Nordisk in October 2022. During his tenure at Forma, Mr. Lee transformed the company from an early-stage drug discovery company into one focused on the clinical development of lead assets in rare hematologic disorders and cancer. Prior to Forma, Mr. Lee spent 13 years at Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, in a series of leadership positions of increasing scope and responsibility for delivering transformative medicines to patients.
•FDA Approval of Expanded EXPAREL Label to Include Two Additional Nerve Block Indications. In November 2023, the FDA approved the company’s sNDA to expand the EXPAREL label to include administration in adults as an adductor canal block and a sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa. The approval is supported by a Phase 3 program data supporting EXPAREL as the first and only single-dose product to safely demonstrate four days of superiority versus bupivacaine. EXPAREL achieved statistical significance in postsurgical pain, opioid consumption and percentage of opioid-free patients (P<0.01).
•Two New EXPAREL Patents. In November 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued Patent Nos. 11,819,574 and 11,819,575, claiming composition of EXPAREL prepared by an enhanced manufacturing process and composition of matter for EXPAREL, respectively. Each of these EXPAREL patents are listed in the FDA’s “Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations” (the “Orange Book”). These two patents are among the ten Orange Book listed patents that are now listed for EXPAREL, all with an expiration date of January 22, 2041.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release contains financial measures that do not comply with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), such as non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP cost of goods sold, non-GAAP research and development (R&D) expense, non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per common share, non-GAAP weighted average diluted common shares outstanding, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and adjusted EBITDA, because these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of items that management believes affect comparability or underlying business trends.

These measures supplement the company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pacira management uses these measures to better analyze its financial results, estimate its future cost of goods sold, R&D expense and SG&A expense outlook for 2024 and to help make managerial decisions. In management’s opinion, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and other users of the company’s financial statements by providing greater transparency into the ongoing operating performance of Pacira and its future outlook. Such measures should not be deemed to be an alternative to GAAP requirements or a measure of liquidity for Pacira. The non-GAAP measures presented here are also unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP disclosures released by other companies. See the tables below for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures.

About Pacira
Pacira BioSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCRX) is committed to providing a non-opioid option to as many patients as possible to redefine the role of opioids as rescue therapy only. Pacira has three commercial-stage non-opioid treatments: EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension), a long-acting local analgesic currently approved for infiltration, fascial plane block, and as an interscalene brachial


plexus nerve block for postsurgical pain management; ZILRETTA® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension), an extended-release, intra-articular injection indicated for the management of osteoarthritis knee pain; and ioveraº®, a novel, handheld device for delivering immediate, long-acting, drug-free pain control using precise, controlled doses of cold temperature to a targeted nerve. To learn more about Pacira, including the corporate mission to reduce overreliance on opioids, visit www.pacira.com.

About EXPAREL® (bupivacaine liposome injectable suspension)

EXPAREL is indicated to produce postsurgical local analgesia via infiltration in patients aged 6 years and older, and postsurgical regional analgesia via an interscalene brachial plexus block in adults, a sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa in adults, and an adductor canal block in adults. The safety and effectiveness of EXPAREL have not been established to produce postsurgical regional analgesia via other nerve blocks besides an interscalene brachial plexus nerve block, a sciatic nerve block in the popliteal fossa, or an adductor canal block. The product combines bupivacaine with multivesicular liposomes, a proven product delivery technology that delivers medication over a desired time period. EXPAREL represents the first and only multivesicular liposome local anesthetic that can be utilized in the peri- or postsurgical setting. By utilizing the multivesicular liposome platform, a single dose of EXPAREL delivers bupivacaine over time, providing significant reductions in cumulative pain scores with up to a 78 percent decrease in opioid consumption; the clinical benefit of the opioid reduction was not demonstrated. Additional information is available at www.EXPAREL.com.

Important Safety Information about EXPAREL for Patients

EXPAREL should not be used in obstetrical paracervical block anesthesia. In studies in adults where EXPAREL was injected into a wound, the most common side effects were nausea, constipation, and vomiting. In studies in adults where EXPAREL was injected near a nerve, the most common side effects were nausea, fever, and constipation. In the study where EXPAREL was given to children, the most common side effects were nausea, vomiting, constipation, low blood pressure, low number of red blood cells, muscle twitching, blurred vision, itching, and rapid heartbeat. EXPAREL can cause a temporary loss of feeling and/or loss of muscle movement. How much and how long the loss of feeling and/or muscle movement depends on where and how much of EXPAREL was injected and may last for up to 5 days. EXPAREL is not recommended to be used in patients younger than 6 years old for injection into the wound, for patients younger than 18 years old, for injection near a nerve, and/or in pregnant women. Tell your health care provider if you or your child has liver disease, since this may affect how the active ingredient (bupivacaine) in EXPAREL is eliminated from the body. EXPAREL should not be injected into the spine, joints, or veins. The active ingredient in EXPAREL can affect the nervous system and the cardiovascular system; may cause an allergic reaction; may cause damage if injected into the joints; and can cause a rare blood disorder.

About ZILRETTA® (triamcinolone acetonide extended-release injectable suspension)

On October 6, 2017, ZILRETTA was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as the first and only extended-release intra-articular therapy for patients confronting osteoarthritis (OA)- related knee pain. ZILRETTA employs proprietary microsphere technology combining triamcinolone acetonide—a commonly administered, short-acting corticosteroid—with a poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) matrix to provide extended pain relief. The pivotal Phase 3 trial on which the approval of ZILRETTA was based


showed that ZILRETTA significantly reduced OA knee pain for 12 weeks, with some people experiencing pain relief through Week 16. Learn more at www.zilretta.com.

Indication and Select Important Safety Information for ZILRETTA

Indication: ZILRETTA is indicated as an intra-articular injection for the management of OA pain of the knee. Limitation of Use: The efficacy and safety of repeat administration of ZILRETTA have not been demonstrated.

Contraindication: ZILRETTA is contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to triamcinolone acetonide, corticosteroids or any components of the product.

Warnings and Precautions:

•Intra-articular Use Only: ZILRETTA has not been evaluated and should not be administered by epidural, intrathecal, intravenous, intraocular, intramuscular, intradermal, or subcutaneous routes. ZILRETTA should not be considered safe for epidural or intrathecal administration.
•Serious Neurologic Adverse Reactions with Epidural and Intrathecal Administration: Serious neurologic events have been reported following epidural or intrathecal corticosteroid administration. Corticosteroids are not approved for this use.
•Hypersensitivity reactions: Serious reactions have been reported with triamcinolone acetonide injection. Institute appropriate care if an anaphylactic reaction occurs.
•Joint infection and damage: A marked increase in joint pain, joint swelling, restricted motion, fever and malaise may suggest septic arthritis. If this occurs, conduct appropriate evaluation and if confirmed, institute appropriate antimicrobial treatment.

Adverse Reactions: The most commonly reported adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) in clinical studies included sinusitis, cough, and contusions.

About iovera°®

The iovera° system uses the body’s natural response to cold to treat peripheral nerves and immediately reduce pain without the use of drugs. Treated nerves are temporarily stopped from sending pain signals for a period of time, followed by a restoration of function. Treatment with iovera° works by applying targeted cold to a peripheral nerve. A precise cold zone is formed under the skin that is cold enough to immediately prevent the nerve from sending pain signals without causing damage to surrounding structures. The effect on the nerve is temporary, providing pain relief until the nerve regenerates and function is restored. Treatment with iovera° does not include injection of any substance, opioid, or any other drug. The effect is immediate and can last up to 90 days. The iovera° system is not indicated for treatment of central nervous system tissue. Additional information is available at www.iovera.com.

Indication and Select Important Safety Information for iovera°®

Indication: iovera° applies freezing cold to peripheral nerve tissue to block and/or relieve pain for up to 90 days. It should not be used to treat central nervous system tissue.



Important Safety Information

⦁    Do not receive treatment with iovera° if you experience hypersensitivity to cold or have open and/or infected wounds near the treatment site.
⦁    You may experience bruising, swelling, inflammation and/or redness, local pain and/or tenderness, and altered feeling at the site of application.
⦁    In treatment area(s), you may experience damage to the skin, skin darkening or lightening, and dimples in the skin.
⦁    You may experience a temporary loss of your ability to use your muscles normally outside of the treatment area.
⦁    Talk to your doctor before receiving treatment with iovera°.

(1) The severance-related expenses in 2022 substantially relate to former employees released in connection with the acquisition of Flexion Therapeutics, Inc. (“Flexion”) in November 2021.
(2) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, acquisition-related fees and expenses primarily related to vacant and underutilized leases assumed from acquiring Flexion. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, acquisition-related fees and expenses primarily related to legal and other professional fees, third-party services and other one-time charges associated with the Flexion acquisition.
(3) In June 2023, the Company implemented a restructuring plan in an effort to improve its operational efficiencies. The restructuring charges are predominantly related to one-time employee termination benefits through a reduction of headcount, such as severance and related costs.
(4) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, an impairment of $26.1 million for an IPR&D intangible asset related to ZILRETTA for the treatment of osteoarthritis pain of the shoulder was recognized based on the amount its previous carrying value of $60.0 million exceeded its fair value of $33.9 million.
(5) The Company recognized expense of $3.0 million in the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 related to the termination of a license agreement.
(6) The tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments is computed by: (i) applying the statutory tax rate to the income or expense adjusted items; (ii) applying a zero-tax rate to adjusted items where a valuation allowance exists; and (iii) excluding discrete tax benefits and expenses primarily associated with tax deductible and non-deductible stock-based compensation and out of period tax items. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP effective income tax rates for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were 26%. The non-GAAP effective income tax rate excludes costs related to discrete non-deductible executive compensation, offset by excluding benefits from discrete tax credits. The effective income tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2023 were 32% and 25% for GAAP and non-GAAP, respectively. The difference from GAAP is due to the impact of excluding costs of discrete non-deductible executive and equity compensation, partially offset by excluding benefits from discrete tax credits. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the GAAP and non-GAAP effective income tax rates were 44% and 20%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the GAAP and non-GAAP effective income tax rates were (20)% and 25%, respectively. The differences from GAAP were primarily due to the impact of excluding tax benefits related to acquisition items, partially offset by excluding tax expenses for non-deductible capital losses.
(7) For the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, there were no non-GAAP adjustments when calculating the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding or the interest expense add back under the “if-converted” method.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, the $402.5 million convertible senior notes due 2025, or 2025 Notes, were excluded on a GAAP basis as the impact to diluted net income (loss) per common share would have been antidilutive. These potential securities resulted in a dilutive impact on diluted net income per common share reported on a non-GAAP basis.
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, non-GAAP adjustments to diluted weighted average shares outstanding included the impact of the 2025 Notes as if they converted on the first day of the period presented, which resulted in an additional 5.6 million common shares in each period upon an assumed conversion and added back $1.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively, of interest expense, net of tax, to non-GAAP net income. The Company has the option to settle its 2025 Notes in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the $160.0 million convertible senior notes due 2022, or 2022 Notes, were excluded on a GAAP basis as the impact to diluted net income per common share would have been antidilutive. These potential securities resulted in a dilutive impact on diluted net income per common share reported on a non-GAAP basis.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, non-GAAP adjustments to diluted weighted average shares outstanding included the impact of the 2022 Notes, as if they were converted on the first day of the period presented, which resulted in adding an additional 0.6 million common shares upon an assumed conversion and added back $1.0 million of interest expense, net of tax, to net income. On April 1, 2022, the Company repaid the principal portion of its 2022 Notes in cash.
Prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
