• Strategic priorities focused on continued Net Sales growth for YUPELRI^® (revefenacin) and conduct of the ampreloxetine Phase 3 study (CYPRESS) in Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) patients with symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH)
• Initiate CYPRESS study in Q1 2023 and submit orphan drug designation in early 2023

DUBLIN, Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TBPH) today announced its 2022 Accomplishments and 2023 Key Targets.

"Last year was a transformative year for Theravance Biopharma and demonstrates the power of a team that leans into the Company's values and core purpose: delivering medicines that make a difference. After restructuring in late 2021, we narrowed our focus, executed on our strategy, and delivered on our key goals. YUPELRI produced all-time high net sales, profitability, and market share in Q2 and Q3, and we expect continued growth in Q4 and beyond. Positive PIFR-2 results in 2023 will enhance the growth trajectory of YUPELRI. Based on successful discussions with the FDA, we will conduct one additional study in MSA patients which is planned to start in Q1 2023. With the new study and a substantial body of preclinical and clinical data in-hand, we have confidence in our ability to file an NDA for ampreloxetine as a treatment for MSA patients with symptomatic nOH. The sale of our TRELEGY ELLIPTA royalty interests to Royalty Pharma for over $1.5 billion in potential value enabled us to eliminate all of our debt and has facilitated the initiation of a return of capital program to shareholders.

We are excited about the future of the Company and grateful for the team that has refocused the portfolio and reinvigorated our business model. With an attractive financial profile and several planned near-term milestones, we are well positioned to create shareholder value in 2023 and beyond," said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, risks related to: whether the milestone thresholds can be achieved, delays or difficulties in commencing, enrolling or completing clinical studies, the potential that results from clinical or non-clinical studies indicate the Company's product candidates or product are unsafe, ineffective or not differentiated, risks of decisions from regulatory authorities that are unfavorable to the Company, dependence on third parties to conduct clinical studies, delays or failure to achieve and maintain regulatory approvals for product candidates, risks of collaborating with or relying on third parties to discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize products, and risks associated with establishing and maintaining sales, marketing and distribution capabilities with appropriate technical expertise and supporting infrastructure, ability to retain key personnel, the impact of the Company's recent restructuring actions on its employees, partners and others, the ability of the Company to protect and to enforce its intellectual property rights, volatility and fluctuations in the trading price and volume of the Company's shares, and general economic and market conditions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Theravance Biopharma provides a non-GAAP profitability target in this presentation. Theravance Biopharma believes that the non-GAAP profitability target provides meaningful information to assist investors in assessing prospects for future performance as it provides a better metric for analyzing the future potential performance of its business by excluding items that may not be indicative of core operating results and the Company's cash position. Because non-GAAP financial targets, such as non-GAAP profitability, are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this target with other companies' non-GAAP targets or measures having the same or a similar name. Thus, Theravance Biopharma's non-GAAP target should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, in in isolation from, the company's actual GAAP results and other targets.

¹ Non-GAAP profit is expected to consist of GAAP income before taxes less share-based compensation expense and non-cash interest expense. See the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measure" for more information.
² Year-to-date through Q3 2022.
³ Data from MSA patients at week 6 of the randomized withdrawal period of Study 0170.

⁵ The first milestone payment, of $50.0 million, will be triggered if Royalty Pharma receives $240.0 million or more in royalty payments from GSK with respect to 2023 TRELEGY global net sales, which we would expect to occur in the event TRELEGY global net sales reach approximately $2.863 billion.
