Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 10:00 a.m. ET
WILMINGTON, DE August 4, 2015 Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq: INCY) today reported 2015 second-quarter financial results, including revenue from Jakafi.
The Company highlighted the continued momentum in the commercialization of Jakafi in the U.S., as well as progress being made across its clinical portfolio, including the results of two pivotal trials of baricitinib that were presented with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) at the 2015 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) meeting in June. In addition, positive proof-of-concept results from the novel:novel combination of Incytes PI3Kδ inhibitor INCB40093 and JAK1-selective inhibitor INCB39110 in B-cell malignancies were presented at both the 2015 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and European Hematology Association (EHA) annual meetings in the second quarter of 2015.
The commercial performance of Jakafi in Q2 2015 was very strong, confirming both underlying growth from the myelofibrosis indication and an acceleration in Jakafi growth from the launch in patients with uncontrolled polycythemia vera, stated Hervé Hoppenot, Incytes President and Chief Executive Officer. Recent data presented from our product candidates, and the progress we are making in recruiting multiple clinical trials, further illustrate the strength and diversity of our development portfolio.
Jakafi is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treatment of people with polycythemia vera (PV) who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea. Jakafi is also indicated for treatment of people with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF), including primary MF, postpolycythemia vera MF, and postessential thrombocythemia MF.
2015 Second-Quarter Financial Results
Revenues For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, net product revenues of Jakafi were $142 million as compared to $84 million for the same period in 2014, representing 69 percent growth. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net product revenues of Jakafi were $258 million as compared to $154 million for the same period in 2014, representing 68 percent growth. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015, product royalties from sales of Jakavi® (ruxolitinib) outside of the United States received from Novartis, the
Companys collaborator, were $17 million and $33 million, respectively, as compared to $12 million and $22 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2014. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, contract revenues were $3 million as compared to $3 million for the same period in 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, contract revenues were $31 million as compared to $13 million for the same period in 2014. The $18 million increase in contract revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 relates to an increase in milestone payments earned from Novartis. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, total revenues were $163 million as compared to $100 million for the same period in 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, total revenues were $322 million as compared to $189 million for the same period in 2014.

Included in research and development expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2015 were non-cash expenses related to equity awards to our employees of $10 million and $20 million respectively.

Increased selling, general and administrative expenses reflected additional costs related to the commercialization of Jakafi.

The pivotal Phase III JANUS 1 and JANUS 2 studies of ruxolitinib in second line metastatic pancreatic cancer are ongoing. Three Phase II trials of ruxolitinib are ongoing in colorectal, breast and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.

Initial results of the combination of INCB40093 and the JAK1-selective inhibitor INCB39110 in B-cell malignancies were presented at the 2015 ASCO meeting.
