WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bioverativ Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVV) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2017.
Key financial results include:
- Third quarter 2017 revenues of $291.6 million, up 27.2% year-over-year
- Third quarter 2017 GAAP net income down 15.7% year-over-year; Non-GAAP net income up 32.8% year-over-year
- Third quarter 2017 GAAP earnings per share of $0.63, down 16.0% year-over-year; Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.80, up 31.1% year-over-year
- Generated cash flows from operations of $377.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017
“We are pleased with the progress of the business in the quarter as we continued to deliver on all of our priorities. Our hemophilia franchise grew thanks to strong commercial execution and differentiation of our leading extended half-life products, ELOCTATE® and ALPROLIX®,” said John Cox, Chief Executive Officer of Bioverativ. “We made significant progress advancing our pipeline with the initiation of the Phase 1/2a trial for BIVV001 and the FDA’s acceptance of an IND application for ST-400, a gene-edited cell therapy candidate to treat beta-thalassemia being developed in collaboration with Sangamo Therapeutics. We also entered into a strategic research collaboration with Bicycle Therapeutics to develop innovative therapies to treat rare blood disorders.”
“As we look toward closing out the year, we are on track to initiate Phase 3 trials for BIVV009 in cold agglutinin disease. We are excited about the potential of bringing forward an important new therapy for these patients who have no approved treatment options today.”
“We plan to continue to execute across all aspects of the business and remain committed to building a world-class rare blood disorders company. Importantly, we are equally committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders by being disciplined and focused in our allocation of capital,” continued Mr. Cox.

In the US, product revenues grew 27.1% compared to the third quarter of 2016 and 0.9% compared to the second quarter of 2017. Product revenues outside the US grew 24.1% compared to the third quarter of 2016 and 21.7% compared to the second quarter of 2017.
ELOCTATE remained on a strong trajectory, despite normal seasonality, due to high patient retention, continued capture of patients switching to long-acting therapies, and the market shift to prophylactic treatment.
ALPROLIX performed in line with expectations and was impacted by seasonality and increasing competition in Hemophilia B.
Collaboration revenues from Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi™) fell compared to the second quarter of 2017 as increased royalty revenue driven by increased sales in Sobi’s territory was offset by lower contract manufacturing revenue due to the timing of Sobi purchases.

Cost of sales fell by $6.0 million compared to the third quarter of 2016 as a result of impairment charges associated with the shutdown of a Biogen Cambridge manufacturing facility in 2016 and lower inventory write-offs partially offset by higher sales volume in 2017. Cost of sales fell by $15.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2017 as increased unit sales volume of ELOCTATE and ALPROLIX was offset by lower Sobi contract manufacturing and lower inventory write-offs.
Research and development expenses increased by $27.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2016 driven by costs associated with the preparation for BIVV009 Phase 3 clinical trials as well as an upfront payment for the company’s research collaboration with Bicycle Therapeutics partially offset by prior period allocations. Compared to the second quarter of 2017, research and development expenses increased by $36.4 million also largely due to the preparation for BIVV009 Phase 3 clinical trials and the company’s collaboration with Bicycle Therapeutics.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose by $16.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2016 driven by an increase in workforce and higher fees and services as the company built capabilities to support its independent operations partially offset by prior period allocations. Compared to the second quarter of 2017, selling, general and administrative expenses fell by $9.1 million primarily due to True North Therapeutics acquisition-related costs.

Research and development expenses increased by $12.9 million compared to the third quarter of 2016 and by $24.0 million compared to the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP adjustments for third quarter of 2017 research and development expenses totaled $15.3 million, the most significant of which was a milestone payment related to the Bicycle Therapeutics research collaboration.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose by $4.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2016 and by $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP adjustments for third quarter of 2017 selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled $12.9 million primarily due to equity based compensation and spin-related costs.
A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial results can be found in Table 5 at the end of this release.
Tax
The company’s GAAP effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 35.3%. This compares to GAAP effective income tax rate of (1.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The difference from the prior year was primarily due to the realization of deferred tax assets resulting from net losses and business credit carryforwards in 2016. The GAAP effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and year-to-date 2017 were 33.9% and 35.7%, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing additional measures which may be considered “Non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules. We believe that the disclosure of these Non-GAAP financial measures provides additional insight into the ongoing economics of our business and reflects how we manage our business internally, set operational goals and forms the basis of our management incentive programs. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for reported, or GAAP, financial measures.
Our Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items from reported GAAP financial measures:
1. Share-Based Compensation Expense
We
exclude the costs associated with incentive stock and employee stock
purchase plans we maintain for the benefit of our officers, directors,
and employees. For the periods prior to February 1, 2017, our share
based compensation expense was derived solely from equity awards granted
by Biogen to the company’s employees. Share-based compensation expense
subsequent to the separation relates to equity awards granted under our
share-based plans to our officers, directors, and employees including
those awards that converted from Biogen.
2. Amortization of Developed Technology Intangible
Assets
We exclude the amortization of intangible assets to
facilitate an evaluation of current and past operating performance,
particularly in terms of cash returns, and is similar to how management
internally assesses performance. The developed technology intangibles
primarily relate to approval milestones for ALPROLIX paid to the former
Syntonix shareholders.
3. Biogen Cambridge Manufacturing Facility Shutdown
We
exclude costs associated with Biogen’s Cambridge manufacturing facility
shutdown, which was primarily dedicated to hemophilia manufacturing. On
December 31, 2016, the facility was subleased by Brammer Bio, LLC and is
no longer used for hemophilia manufacturing. Management believes these
costs are not representative of our ongoing operating results.
4. Tax-Related Items
We had
established a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2015 given our
cumulative losses and uncertainty about our cost structure as a
standalone company. During 2016, we determined that it is more likely
than not that our deferred tax assets will be realizable and released
our valuation allowance. Management believes the release of the
valuation allowance is not representative of our ongoing operating
results.
5. Spin-Related Costs
In connection
with our separation from Biogen, we have incurred certain separation
related expenses, which management believes are not representative of
our ongoing operations.
6. Upfront and Milestone Payments
We
exclude costs associated with upfront and milestone payments relating to
collaborative arrangements as management believes these costs are
uncertain, result in different payment and expense recognition patterns
than internal R&D activities, and are not representative of our ongoing
operating results.
7. Acquisition-Related Costs
In
connection with our acquisition of True North Therapeutics, we have
incurred certain acquisition related expenses, which management believes
are not representative of our ongoing operations. These expenses include
banker, legal, tax, and other expenses. In addition, we exclude costs
associated with quarterly remeasurement of contingent consideration.
8. Tax Effects of the Above Non-GAAP Adjustments
We
include an adjustment to reflect the related tax effect of all
reconciling items within our reconciliation of our GAAP to Non-GAAP
adjusted net income.
