DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced its first-quarter 2019 financial results and increased its full-year 2019 net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance.
“We are off to a strong start this year, achieving double-digit net sales growth in the first quarter and raising our full-year outlook, indicative of our continued strong commercial execution,” said Timothy P. Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “In addition, during the quarter we announced dramatic teprotumumab Phase 3 trial results that support a mid-year U.S. regulatory submission, a key milestone in our evolution to a development-focused rare disease biopharma company. We are one step closer to delivering the first FDA-approved treatment to people living with active thyroid eye disease.”
Walbert continued, “Last week our shareholders approved changing the name of the Company to Horizon Therapeutics plc. Our new name more clearly reflects both our long-term strategy to develop and commercialize innovative new medicines addressing rare diseases with very few effective options as well as the fact that our work with patients, caregivers, physicians and communities goes well beyond our medicines.”

Phase 3 Confirmatory Trial Evaluating Teprotumumab for Active TED
Met Primary and All Secondary Endpoints: In February, the Company
announced topline results from its Phase 3 confirmatory trial OPTIC
(Treatment of Graves’ Orbitopathy (Thyroid Eye Disease) to
Reduce Proptosis with Teprotumumab Infusions in a
Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Clinical Study), which
evaluated teprotumumab for the treatment of active TED. The study met
its primary endpoint, showing a dramatic improvement in proptosis, or
bulging of the eye: 82.9 percent of teprotumumab patients compared to
9.5 percent of placebo patients achieved the primary endpoint of a ≥2
mm reduction in proptosis (p<0.001). Proptosis is the main cause of
morbidity in TED. All secondary endpoints were also met and the safety
profile was consistent with the Phase 2 study of teprotumumab in
active TED.
Additional Phase 3 results were presented at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) Scientific and Clinical Congress on April 26, 2019. One of the most clinically meaningful measures presented was the improvement in proptosis seen after a full course of treatment (through Week 24). At Week 24, patients treated with teprotumumab had a proptosis reduction of 3.32 mm compared with 0.53 mm among those who received placebo (p<0.001).
Teprotumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitor in development for the treatment of active TED, in which the muscles and fatty tissue behind the eye expand and become inflamed, which can lead to proptosis and diplopia (double vision) as well as quality-of-life issues.
- KRYSTEXXA Immunomodulation Registrational Trial Expected to Begin in June: The Company has finalized the design of its registrational clinical trial MIRROR (Methotrexate to Increase Response Rates in Patients with Uncontrolled GOut Receiving KRYSTEXXA). The trial will evaluate the administration of KRYSTEXXA with methotrexate to potentially improve the durability of the response rate. The randomized placebo-controlled study is expected to begin in June and to enroll approximately 135 patients to receive either KRYSTEXXA and methotrexate or KRYSTEXXA and placebo. The primary endpoint is the proportion of responders defined as having levels of serum uric acid <6 mg/dL at six months between treatment arms. Methotrexate has been shown to reduce anti‐drug antibodies when combined with biologics and is the immunomodulator most commonly used by rheumatologists.
- Lead Candidate Selected in Next-Generation Biologic Program for Uncontrolled Gout: The Company is pursuing two development programs for next-generation biologics to support and sustain the Company’s market leadership in uncontrolled gout. This includes the recently selected candidate, HZN-007, from its PASylated uricase technology program and HZN-003, the candidate from its optimized uricase technology program. The Company is exploring the use of these technologies to potentially improve the half-life of the uricase and enhance response rates. The Company is also targeting subcutaneous formulations.
- Collaboration with HemoShear: On Jan. 3, 2019, the Company and HemoShear Therapeutics, LLC, a privately-held biotechnology company, entered into a collaboration to discover and develop novel therapeutics for gout.
- Gross Debt Reduction: The Company used the net proceeds from an underwritten public equity offering in March, together with cash on hand, to repay $550 million of its $1.993 billion total principal amount of debt outstanding as of Dec. 31, 2018, reducing it to $1.443 billion as of May 1, 2019. The Company’s net debt to last twelve months adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio was 1.3 times at March 31, 2019, compared to 2.3 times at Dec. 31, 2018.
Research and Development Programs
Orphan Candidate and Program:
-
Teprotumumab: The pivotal Phase 3 confirmatory study, OPTIC,
evaluated teprotumumab for the treatment of active TED, which has no
FDA-approved treatments. The study met its primary endpoint of a ≥2 mm
reduction in proptosis, which is the main cause of morbidity in TED.
82.9 percent of patients treated with teprotumumab had a dramatic
improvement in proptosis compared to 9.5 percent of placebo patients.
In addition, all secondary endpoints were met, and the safety profile
was consistent with the Phase 2 study of teprotumumab in active TED.
The Company expects to submit a BLA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in mid-2019. Teprotumumab has received Breakthrough Therapy, Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the FDA. If approved, teprotumumab would be the first and only approved treatment for active TED.
Rheumatology Pipeline Candidates and Programs:
- KRYSTEXXA Immunomodulation Study: The Company is evaluating the use of methotrexate to enhance the response rate to KRYSTEXXA through its MIRROR study. Methotrexate, the immunomodulator most commonly used by rheumatologists, has been shown to reduce anti-drug antibodies when combined with other biologics. The MIRROR trial is designed to support the potential for registration, and is expected to begin in June.
- KRYSTEXXA Study in Kidney Transplant Patients with Uncontrolled Gout: The Company plans to initiate a clinical trial in the second half of 2019 evaluating the effect of KRYSTEXXA on serum uric acid levels in kidney transplant patients with uncontrolled gout. Kidney transplant patients have more than a tenfold increase in the prevalence of gout when compared to the general population and literature suggests that high serum uric acid levels are associated with organ rejection. Managing uncontrolled gout is one of the most common and significant unmet needs of kidney transplant patients.
- Next-generation Biologic Programs for Uncontrolled Gout: The Company is pursuing several development programs for next-generation biologics for uncontrolled gout to support and sustain the Company’s market leadership. This includes HZN-007, HZN-003 and a discovery and development collaboration with HemoShear Therapeutics, LLC.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA are used and provided by Horizon as non-GAAP financial measures. Horizon provides certain other financial measures such as non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit ratio, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP operating cash flow and net debt, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information on Horizon performance, operations, expenses, profitability and cash flows. Adjustments to Horizon’s GAAP figures as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition and/or divestiture-related expenses, charges related to the discontinuation of ACTIMMUNE development for Friedreich’s ataxia, gain from divestiture, gain from sale of assets, upfront and milestone payments related to license and collaboration agreements, litigation settlements, loss on debt extinguishment, costs of debt refinancing, drug manufacturing harmonization costs, restructuring and realignment costs, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, long-lived asset impairment charges and other non-cash adjustments. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. Horizon maintains an established non-GAAP cost policy that guides the determination of what costs will be excluded in non-GAAP measures. Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon’s financial and operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s historical and expected 2019 financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Horizon’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company's performance. For example, adjusted EBITDA is used by Horizon as one measure of management performance under certain incentive compensation arrangements. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Horizon has not provided a reconciliation of its full-year 2019 adjusted EBITDA outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items such as acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and share-based compensation that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected due to the significant impact of changes in Horizon’s stock price, the variability associated with the size or timing of acquisitions/divestitures and other factors. These components of net income (loss) could significantly impact Horizon’s actual net income (loss).

Note: On Jan. 1, 2019, the Company changed the accounting principle related to the application of the acquisition method of accounting under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The change resulted in certain adjustments to the Company’s U.S. GAAP consolidated financial statements, including changes to the method of accounting for royalties that will result in improved comparability with the Company’s peers. The change did not result in any changes to the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures for any prior period.

NOTES FOR CERTAIN INCOME STATEMENT LINE ITEMS - NON-GAAP
- Represents depreciation expense related to our property, equipment, software and leasehold improvements.
- Intangible amortization expenses are associated with our intellectual property rights, developed technology and customer relationships related to ACTIMMUNE, BUPHENYL, KRYSTEXXA, LODOTRA, MIGERGOT, PENNSAID 2%, PROCYSBI, RAVICTI, VIMOVO and RAYOS.
- During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized in cost of goods sold $17.1 million for inventory step-up expense primarily related to KRYSTEXXA inventory sold.
- Represents amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs associated with our debt.
- Represents expenses, including legal and consulting fees, incurred in connection with our acquisitions and divestitures.
- Represents expenses, including severance costs and consulting fees, related to restructuring and realignment activities.
- Represents share-based compensation expense associated with our stock option, restricted stock unit and performance stock unit grants to our employees and non-employees and our employee share purchase plan.
- During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $5.6 million in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss, which reflects the write-off of the deferred financing and debt discount fees related to the $300.0 million term loan repayment.
- During the year ended December 31, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain rights to interferon gamma-1b, marketed as IMUKIN in an estimated thirty countries primarily in Europe and the Middle East, or the IMUKIN purchase agreement. We already owned the rights to interferon gamma-1b marketed as ACTIMMUNE in the United States, Canada and Japan. In connection with the IMUKIN purchase agreement, we also committed to pay our contract manufacturer certain amounts related to the harmonization of the manufacturing processes for ACTIMMUNE and IMUKIN drug substance, or the harmonization program. At the time we entered into the IMUKIN purchase agreement and the harmonization program commitment was made, we had anticipated achieving certain benefits should the Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ACTIMMUNE for the treatment of Friedreich’s ataxia, or FA, be successful. If the study had been successful and if U.S. marketing approval had subsequently been obtained, we had forecasted significant increases in demand for the medicine and the harmonization program would have resulted in significant benefits for us. Following the FA discontinuation, we determined that certain assets, including an upfront payment related to the IMUKIN purchase agreement, were impaired, and the costs under the harmonization program would no longer have benefit to us and should be expensed as incurred.
- Represents expenses incurred relating to discontinuation of Friedreich’s ataxia program, and a reduction to previous charges recorded.
- During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded an upfront cash payment of $2.0 million to HemoShear.
- Represents arrangement and other fees relating to our refinancing activities.
- Income tax adjustments on pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments represent the estimated income tax impact of each pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment based on the statutory income tax rate of the applicable jurisdictions for each non-GAAP adjustment.
- Impairment of long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2018, relates to the write-off of the book value of developed technology related to PROCYSBI in Canada and Latin America.
- Following Notice 2018-28, issued by the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service on April 2, 2018 and in accordance with the measurement period provisions under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, or SAB 118, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 we reinstated the deferred tax asset related to our U.S. interest expense carry forwards under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, based on the revised U.S. federal tax rate of 21 percent. The impact of the deferred tax asset reinstatement in accordance with SAB 118 was a $35.9 million increase to our benefit for income taxes and a corresponding decrease to the U.S. group net deferred tax liability position.
