DUBLIN, IRELAND – NOVEMBER 7, 2022 – Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (“Theravance Biopharma” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TBPH) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2022.

 

“This quarter is a milestone in the Company’s transformation and demonstrates the power of a team of people who are focused and stay true to the Company’s purpose, delivering medicines that make a difference. I am proud and grateful for the team that has refocused the portfolio and monetized our interest in TRELEGY to reposition and reinvigorate the Company’s business model. Theravance Biopharma today is debt free, and I believe we are well-positioned for value creation,” said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer.

 

Quarterly Highlights

 

·YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution, the first and only once-daily, nebulized bronchodilator approved in the US for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with net sales increasing by 35% year-over-year (Q3 2022 vs Q3 2021) – its strongest quarter to date and increased its share of the long-acting nebulized COPD market, increasing to 26.3% through August 2022, up from 25.6% in Q2 2022.

Recently issued US Patent No. 11,484,531, covering methods of treating COPD using YUPELRI, is now listed in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration publication, Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as the Orange Book. The patent provides for method of use until 2039.

 

·Ampreloxetine, an investigational, once-daily norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in development for the treatment of symptomatic nOH in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Phase 3 results (Study 0170) showed a benefit to MSA patients in the study that was observed in multiple endpoints.

 

The Company held a Type C meeting with the FDA in June 2022 and agreed on a path to NDA filing with one new Phase 3 clinical study in MSA patients with symptomatic nOH which is planned to start in the first quarter of 2023. The registrational Phase 3 Study in MSA patients with nOH (Study 0197, CYPRESS) is expected to be a 12-week open-label; 8-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study with a primary endpoint of change in Orthostatic Hypotension Symptom Assessment (OHSA) composite score. The Company reiterates it expects the $25 million investment from Royalty Pharma to fund the majority of the Phase 3 costs as a result of study size as well as insights and learnings from earlier studies.

 

 

1 While Viatris, Inc. (“Viatris”) records the total YUPELRI net sales, the Company is entitled to a 35% share of the profits and losses pursuant to a co-promotion agreement with Viatris.

·TRELEGY ELLIPTA (once-daily, single inhaler triple therapy for COPD and asthma)

 

Sale of TRELEGY ELLIPTA Royalty Interest

 

On July 20, 2022, Theravance Biopharma closed the sale of its units in Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (“TRC, LLC”) representing its 85% economic interest in the sales-based royalty rights on worldwide net sales of GSK's TRELEGY ELLIPTA ("TRELEGY") to Royalty Pharma (NASDAQ: RPRX) for over $1.5 billion in potential total value (the "TRELEGY Royalty Transaction"). The TRELEGY Royalty Transaction is intended to provide near-, mid- and long-term value to the Company with an upfront cash payment of approximately $1.1 billion, up to $250 million in additional milestone payments contingent on the achievement of certain TRELEGY net sales thresholds between 2023 and 2026 and outer year royalties to the Company.

 

Global Net Sales and Milestones

 

GSK posted third quarter 2022 global net sales of $552 million (up from $449 million, or 23%, from third quarter of 2021), and global net sales from the first nine months of 2022 have reached approximately $1.6 billion (up from $1.2 billion, or 34% from the first nine months of 2021). Theravance Biopharma is entitled to a milestone payment from Royalty Pharma of $50 million if TRELEGY global net sales are equal to or exceed $2.9 billion2 in 2023, the first of $250 million of potential milestones that can be achieved between 2023 – 2026.

 

·$250 Million Capital Return Program

 

The Company purchased all of GSK's equity stake in Theravance Biopharma, consisting of approximately 9.6 million shares at $9.75 per share on September 20, 2022.

 

The Company announced a Dutch auction tender offer (the “Offer”) for up to $95 million of its ordinary shares on September 28, 2022.

 

The Company plans to enter into an Open Market Share Repurchase Plan to facilitate the repurchase of approximately $60 million of its ordinary shares in open market purchases subsequent to the completion of the Offer, with a goal to complete this program by the end of 2023.

 

Extension of the Offer

 

The Company is extending the length of the Offer such that the Offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on November 17, 2022, unless the Company extends the Offer for an additional period of time. Based on information provided by Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the depositary for the Offer, to date, approximately 95,487 shares have been validly tendered for purchase in the Offer. Shareholders who have validly tendered and not withdrawn their shares do not need to re-tender their shares or take any other action in response to the extension of the Offer.

 

 

2 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. Royalties payable from GSK to Royalty Pharma are upward tiering from 6.5% to 10%.

Third Quarter Financial Results

 

·Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $12.5 million, primarily comprised of $12.4 million in Viatris collaboration revenue. Total revenue for the third quarter represents a $0.7 million decrease over the same period in 2021 primarily driven by the completion of the recognition of non-cash Janssen collaboration revenue in 2021, resulting from the planned close-out of the izencitinib program.

 

·YUPELRI: The Viatris collaboration revenue of $12.4 million for the third quarter of 2022 represents amounts receivable from Viatris and is comprised of the Company’s 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI as well as its proportionate amount of the total shared costs incurred by the two companies. The non-shared YUPELRI costs incurred by Theravance Biopharma are recorded within operating expenses. While Viatris records the total net sales of YUPELRI within its financial statements, Theravance Biopharma’s implied 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI for the third quarter of 2022 was $18.7 million, up 9% from the second quarter of 2022. There was a 35% increase in year-over-year implied net sales for the third quarter, however, due to accounting guidelines, Viatris collaboration revenue increased by 20% due to lower costs incurred by Theravance Biopharma as a result of the corporate restructuring, which improves YUPELRI profitability but lowers Viatris collaboration revenue. Additionally, during the period there were higher costs incurred by Viatris, which also reduced our Viatris collaboration revenue.

 

·Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $9.9 million, compared to $43.7 million in the same period in 2021. Third quarter R&D expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $2.6 million.

 

·Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2022 were $16.3 million, compared to $21.3 million in the same period in 2021. Third quarter SG&A expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $5.2 million.

 

·Loss on Extinguishment of Debt: Loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 was related to the paydown of our 2023 convertible senior notes.

 

·Income from Discontinued Operations (before income taxes): Income from discontinued operations (before income tax) of $1,115.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 was primarily related to the $1,141.1 million gain from the sale of our equity interests in TRC, LLC and was partially offset by a $24.0 million loss on the extinguishment of our non-recourse 2035 notes.

 

·Provision for Income Tax Expense (Discontinued Operations): Income tax expense from discontinued operations of $182.4 million for the third quarter of 2022 was primarily related to the tax liability arising from the gain from the sale of our equity interests in TRC, LLC. The Company estimates a current tax liability of approximately $120.6 million.

 

·Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $486.8 million as of September 30, 2022.

2022 Financial Guidance

 

·Operating Expenses: The Company reiterates that it expects full year 2022 R&D expense of $45 million to $55 million and SG&A expense of $35 million to $45 million (in each case, excluding share-based compensation, one-time restructuring costs and one-time transaction related legal expenses).

 

·The Company continues to expect to approach breakeven cash flow from operations.

Examples of such statements include statements relating to: contingent payments due to the Company from the sale of the Company’s TRELEGY ELLIPTA royalty interests to Royalty Pharma, the Company's goals, designs, strategies, plans and objectives, the ability to provide value to shareholders, the Company's regulatory strategies and timing of clinical studies (including the data therefrom), the potential characteristics, benefits and mechanisms of action of the Company's product and product candidates, including potential points of differentiation, the market for products being commercialized and product candidates, product sales or profit share revenue and the Company's expectations for its future financial performance and expectations as to future cash flows, the effectiveness of the Company’s intellectual property portfolio, the timing of the Offer, including the settlement thereof and the satisfaction of conditions to the Offer, and the Company’s repurchase of its ordinary shares by way of an open market share repurchase plan.

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 restructuring actions on its employees, partners and others, the ability of the Company to protect and to enforce its intellectual property rights, the satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer, volatility and fluctuations in the trading price and volume of the Shares, and general economic and market conditions.

About YUPELRI ® ( revefenacin ) Inhalation Solution YUPELRI ® ( revefenacin ) inhalation solution is a once - daily nebulized LAMA approved for the maintenance treatment of COPD in the US . Market research by Theravance Biopharma indicates approximately 9 % of the treated COPD patients in the US use nebulizers for ongoing maintenance therapy . 1 LAMAs are a cornerstone of maintenance therapy for COPD and YUPELRI ® is positioned as the first once - daily single - agent bronchodilator product for COPD patients who require, or prefer, nebulized therapy . YUPELRI ® ’s stability in both metered dose inhaler and dry powder device formulations suggest that this LAMA could also serve as a foundation for novel handheld combination products . 1.
