WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., March 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGRX) (“Eagle” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2022.

Business and Recent Highlights:

• Received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for an additional indication for PEMFEXY^® (pemetrexed injection) in combination with pembrolizumab and platinum chemotherapy for the initial treatment of patients with metastatic, non-squamous, non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) with no EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. Eagle’s approved PEMFEXY (pemetrexed injection) is a ready-to-dilute (“RTD”) novel liquid intravenous formulation developed to eliminate the reconstitution step of the Listed Drug (“LD”), ALIMTA^®.
  • Bought down future royalties on PEMFEXY profits through a one-time payment of $15 million to eliminate the royalty on the first $85 million of profit beginning October 1, 2022, and to reduce the royalty thereafter.
• During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company reached the contractual limit for royalties paid to development partner on worldwide bendamustine profits.
• Reached a settlement agreement with Accord Healthcare, Inc. (“Accord”). Eagle had asserted its Orange Book-listed patents against Accord related to Accord’s new drug application (“NDA”) referencing BENDEKA^®. The settlement agreement provides that Accord has the right to market its product beginning January 17, 2028, or earlier based on certain circumstances. The settlement agreement is confidential and subject to review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice.
• FDA accepted the Company’s investigational new drug (“IND”) application for CAL02, a novel first-in-class broad-spectrum anti-virulence agent for the adjunct treatment of severe community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (“SCABP”). The Phase 2 study is expected to begin enrollment of approximately 276 patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia at approximately 120 sites worldwide in early 2023.

• Cash and cash equivalents were $55.3 million, net accounts receivable was $72.4 million, and total debt was $63.8 million, as of December 31, 2022.

Full Year 2022

• Total revenue for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022 was $316.6 million, compared to $171.5 million, in 2021, an increase of 84.6%.
• Net income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022 was $35.6 million, or $2.76 per basic and $2.73 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(8.6) million, or $(0.66) per basic and diluted share, in 2021.
• Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2022 was $101.8 million, or $7.87 per basic and $7.79 per diluted share, compared to $22.3 million, or $1.71 per basic and $1.68 per diluted share, in 2021.¹
• From August 2016 through December 31, 2022, Eagle has repurchased $246.1 million of its common stock through its Share Repurchase Program.

“2022 was an outstanding year for Eagle, as we tripled our adjusted non-GAAP net income per diluted share over 2021. This is a significant achievement for a company of our size, and I am pleased that we accomplished this almost entirely through organic growth. During the final three months of 2022, we recorded $12 million of Pemfexy net sales and exited the quarter with a 6% U.S. market share in community oncology. We anticipate doubling this share to approximately 12% leaving the first quarter of 2023, and have already captured a 10% share through February²,” stated Scott Tarriff, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eagle Pharmaceuticals.

“Looking ahead, we anticipate growth in Barhemsys and Byfavo over time now that our sales force is scaled to plan and trained. We intend to continue to manage our U.S. bendamustine franchise, support Enalare’s development of ENA-001, and advance our pipeline programs for CAL02 and landiolol. We believe our strong cash position and balance sheet provide us with the flexibility not only to support our clinical development work but also to seek a meaningful acquisition that could potentially go a long way in solidifying Eagle’s position as a diversified pharmaceutical company,” concluded Tarriff.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was $60.7 million, as compared to $42.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Q4 2022 RYANODEX^® net product sales were $7.2 million, compared to $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Q4 2022 BELRAPZO net product sales were $11.0 million, compared to $5.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Q4 2022 PEMFEXY^® net product sales were $12.1 million and vasopressin net product sales were $3.6 million.

A summary of total revenue is outlined below:

Q4 2022 royalty revenue was $23.5 million, compared to $26.2 million in the prior year quarter. Full-year 2022 royalty revenue totaled $98.3 million compared to $106.5 million in 2021.

During the first quarter of 2023, Eagle provided notice to customers and the FDA that the Company is withdrawing from the vasopressin market; inventory is expected to be depleted by the end of the second quarter of 2023.

Gross margin was 67% during the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to 71% in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross margin was driven by a change in the revenue mix, including the launch of PEMFEXY and vasopressin and amortization expense related to PEMFEXY, BARHEMSYS and BYFAVO.

R&D expense was $7.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $3.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher spend of $3.9 million on CAL02.

SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 totaled $24.2 million, compared to $20.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was primarily related to increased sales and marketing expense including headcount costs of $1.7 million and marketing costs of 2.1 million associated with BARHEMSYS, BYFAVO and PEMFEXY.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $8.2 million, or $0.63 per basic and $0.62 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $(6.2) million, or $(0.48) per basic and diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of the factors discussed above.

Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $14.4 million, or $1.11 per basic and $1.10 per diluted share, compared to adjusted non-GAAP net income¹ of $11.0 million, or $0.85 per basic and $0.83 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $316.6 million, as compared to $171.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. A summary of total revenue is outlined below:

Net revenues increased by $145.1 million to $316.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $171.5 million in 2021, primarily driven by the launches of PEMFEXY and vasopressin, increases in product sales of BELRAPZO of $9.9 million and Ryanodex of $4.9 million, the acquisition of BARHEMSYS and BYFAVO, and increases in TREAKISYM royalties of $4.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in royalties of BENDEKA of $12.3 million. During 2022, we recorded $3.8 million of other revenue for a cumulative sales milestone on sales of TREAKISYM in Japan by our marketing partner, SymBio.

Gross margin was 70% for the full year 2022, as compared to 75% for 2021. The decrease in gross margin was driven by a change in the revenue mix, including the launch of PEMFEXY and vasopressin and amortization expense related to PEMFEXY, BARHEMSYS and BYFAVO.

R&D expense decreased to $34.1 million in 2022, compared to $51.3 million in 2021, primarily reflecting the non-recurrence of a $10.0 million upfront payment related to our license agreement with Combioxin SA for CAL02, a $5.0 million upfront payment related to our licensing agreement with AOP Orphan for landiolol, lower headcount cost of $1.3 million, lower spend of vasopressin of $7.6 million, RYANODEX and EA111 of $3.1 million and PEMFEXY of $2.2 million. This was partially offset by $11.0 million of CMC and clinical expenses on our CAL02 program.

Excluding stock-based compensation and other non-cash items, adjusted non-GAAP R&D expense¹ for 2022 was $31.5 million.

SG&A expenses increased by $31.3 million to $106.6 million in 2022, compared to $75.3 million in 2021. The increase primarily reflects $16.6 million of higher professional fees which primarily resulted from our Acacia Pharma Group plc (“Acacia”) and Enalare transactions, $6.9 million of severance related to the acquisition of Acacia, and increased sales and marketing expense which includes increased headcount costs of $3.8 million and increased marketing costs of 5.9 million associated with BARHEMSYS, BYFAVO and PEMFEXY. This was partially offset by $2.9 million of lower stock-based compensation expense.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $35.6 million, or $2.76 per basic and $2.73 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $(8.6) million or $(0.66) per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of the factors discussed above.

Adjusted non-GAAP net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $101.8 million, or $7.87 per basic and $7.79 per diluted share, compared to adjusted non-GAAP net income¹ of $22.3 million, or $1.71 per basic and $1.68 per diluted share, for 2021.¹

2023 Guidance

• Adjusted EBITDA of $74.0-$80.0 million¹
• Adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share of $4.20-$4.53¹
• Adjusted non-GAAP R&D expense of $41.0-$45.0 million¹
• Adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense of $86.0-$90.0 million¹

Liquidity

As of December 31, 2022, Eagle had $55.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, $72.4 million in accounts receivable, net, and $63.8 million in outstanding debt on the Company’s $150 million credit facility with JPMorgan. Therefore, as of December 31, 2022, Eagle had cash and cash equivalents plus accounts receivables, net of $127.7 million.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date on which they were made. Except to the extent required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.

Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release also contains adjusted non-GAAP net income, adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share, adjusted non-GAAP R&D expense and adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense and projected adjusted non-GAAP R&D expense, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share. The Company believes these measures provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, Eagle no longer excludes expense for In-Process Research & Development from its non-GAAP results. Historically, the company excluded these charges. These changes have been made to align with views expressed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Prior periods have been recast to reflect these changes.

Adjusted non-GAAP net income and related earnings per share information excludes amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, severance, acquisition related costs, legal settlement, debt issuance costs, non-cash interest expense, fair value adjustments on equity investment, convertible promissory note related adjustments, fair value adjustments related to derivative instruments, foreign currency exchange loss, gain on euro debt, inventory step-up and the tax effect of these adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustments on equity investment, convertible promissory note related credit losses, fair value adjustments related to derivative instruments, foreign currency exchange loss, gain on euro debt, legal settlement, acquisition related costs, inventory step-up and debt issuance cost and severance.

Adjusted non-GAAP R&D expense excludes stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense and severance.

Adjusted non-GAAP SG&A expense excludes stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, severance, acquisition related costs, amortization expense, legal settlement and debt issuance costs.

The Company believes the use of non-GAAP financial measures helps indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business and are important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding projected operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures provide the Company and its investors with an indication of the Company’s baseline performance before items that are considered by the Company not to be reflective of the Company’s ongoing results. See the attached reconciliation tables for details of the amounts excluded and included to arrive at certain of the non-GAAP financial measures.

Investors should note that reconciliations of the forward-looking or projected non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to their most comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided because the Company cannot do so without unreasonable efforts due to the unavailability of information needed to calculate the reconciling items and the variability, complexity, and limited visibility of comparable GAAP measures, and the reconciling items that would be excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures in the future. Likewise, the Company is unable to provide projected GAAP financial measures. GAAP projections and reconciliations of the components of projected adjusted EBITDA, adjusted non-GAAP R&D expenses, and adjusted non-GAAP earning per share to their most comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided because the quantification of projected GAAP R&D expenses, net income and earnings per share and the reconciling items between projected GAAP to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted non-GAAP R&D expenses, and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share cannot be reasonably calculated or predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. For example, with respect to GAAP net income and R&D Expense, the Company is not able to calculate the favorable or unfavorable expenses related to the fair value adjustments on equity investments and derivative instruments primarily due to nature of these transactions. Such unavailable information could be significant such that actual GAAP net income, R&D expenses, and earnings per share would vary significantly from projected GAAP and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted non-GAAP R&D expenses, and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company has ceased, and may in the future cease, to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. For example, commencing in 2023, the Company no longer excludes expense of acquired in-process research & development from the Company’s adjusted non-GAAP net income or adjusted EBITDA, their line item components, and non-GAAP earnings per share. For purposes of comparability, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 have been updated to reflect this change. Accordingly, such expenses are not excluded from its non-GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as detailed in the reconciliation tables that follow, or from 2023 non-GAAP adjusted net income and adjusted non-GAAP earnings per share guidance. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. The Company strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.

Important Safety Information for BARHEMSYS® (amisulpride)⁷ Injection

Contraindication

BARHEMSYS is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to amisulpride.

QT Prolongation

BARHEMSYS causes dose- and concentration-dependent prolongation of the QT interval. The recommended dosage is 5 mg or 10 mg as a single intravenous (IV) dose infused over 1 to 2 minutes.

Avoid BARHEMSYS in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients taking droperidol.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is recommended in patients with pre-existing arrhythmias/cardiac conduction disorders, electrolyte abnormalities (e.g., hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia), congestive heart failure, and in patients taking other medicinal products (e.g., ondansetron) or with other medical conditions known to prolong the QT interval.

Adverse Reactions

Common adverse reactions reported in ≥ 2% of adult patients who received BARHEMSYS 5 mg (n=748) and at a higher rate than placebo (n=741) in clinical trials for the prevention of PONV were: chills (4% vs. 3%), hypokalemia (4% vs. 2%), procedural hypotension (3% vs. 2%), and abdominal distention (2% vs. 1%).

Serum prolactin concentrations were measured in one prophylaxis study where 5% (9/176) of BARHEMSYS-treated patients had increased blood prolactin reported as an adverse reaction compared with 1% (1/166) of placebo-treated patients.

The most common adverse reaction, reported in ≥ 2% of adult patients who received BARHEMSYS 10 mg (n=418) and at a higher rate than placebo (n=416), in clinical trials for the treatment of PONV was infusion site pain (6% vs. 4%).

Use in Specific Populations

Lactation

Amisulpride is present in human milk. There are no reports of adverse effects on the breastfed child and no information on the effects of amisulpride on milk production.

BARHEMSYS may result in an increase in serum prolactin levels, which may lead to a reversible increase in maternal milk production. In a clinical trial, serum prolactin concentrations in females (n=112) increased from a mean of 10 ng/mL at baseline to 32 ng/mL after BARHEMSYS treatment and from 10 ng/mL to 19 ng/mL in males (n=61). No clinical consequences due to elevated prolactin levels were reported.

To minimize exposure to a breastfed infant, lactating women may consider interrupting breastfeeding and pumping and discarding breast milk for 48 hours after receiving a dose of BARHEMSYS.

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Geriatric Use

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

Renal Impairment

Avoid BARHEMSYS in patients with severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2). The pharmacokinetics of amisulpride in patients with severe renal impairment have not been adequately studied in clinical trials. Amisulpride is known to be substantially excreted by the kidneys, and patients with severe renal impairment may have increased systemic exposure and an increased risk of adverse reactions.

No dosage adjustment is necessary in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment

(eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2).

Drug Interactions

• BARHEMSYS causes dose- and concentration-dependent QT prolongation. To avoid potential additive effects, avoid use of BARHEMSYS in patients taking droperidol.
• ECG monitoring is recommended in patients taking other drugs known to prolong the QT interval (e.g., ondansetron).
• Reciprocal antagonism of effects occurs between dopamine agonists (e.g., levodopa) and BARHEMSYS. Avoid using levodopa with BARHEMSYS.
  
  

Important Safety Information for BYFAVO™ (remimazolam)⁸ Injection

Indications

BYFAVO is a benzodiazepine indicated for the induction and maintenance of procedural sedation in adults undergoing procedures lasting 30 minutes or less.

Important Safety Information

WARNING: PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT FOR MONITORING AND RESUSCITATION AND RISKS FROM CONCOMITANT USE WITH OPIOID ANALGESICS

Personnel and Equipment for Monitoring and Resuscitation

• Only personnel trained in the administration of procedural sedation, and not involved in the conduct of the diagnostic or therapeutic procedure, should administer BYFAVO. 
• Administering personnel must be trained in the detection and management of airway obstruction, hypoventilation, and apnea, including the maintenance of a patent airway, supportive ventilation, and cardiovascular resuscitation. 
• BYFAVO has been associated with hypoxia, bradycardia, and hypotension. Continuously monitor vital signs during sedation and during the recovery period.
• Resuscitative drugs, and age- and size-appropriate equipment for bag-valve-mask–assisted ventilation must be immediately available during administration of BYFAVO.

Risks From Concomitant Use With Opioid Analgesics and Other Sedative-Hypnotics

Concomitant use of benzodiazepines, including BYFAVO, and opioid analgesics may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. The sedative effect of intravenous BYFAVO can be accentuated by concomitantly administered CNS depressant medications, including other benzodiazepines and propofol. Continuously monitor patients for respiratory depression and depth of sedation.

Contraindication 

BYFAVO is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to dextran 40 or products containing dextran 40.

Personnel and Equipment for Monitoring and Resuscitation

Clinically notable hypoxia, bradycardia, and hypotension were observed in Phase 3 studies of BYFAVO. Continuously monitor vital signs during sedation and through the recovery period. Only personnel trained in the administration of procedural sedation, and not involved in the conduct of the diagnostic or therapeutic procedure, should administer BYFAVO. Administering personnel must be trained in the detection and management of airway obstruction, hypoventilation, and apnea, including the maintenance of a patent airway, supportive ventilation, and cardiovascular resuscitation. Resuscitative drugs, and age- and size-appropriate equipment for bag-valve-mask–assisted ventilation must be immediately available during administration of BYFAVO. Consider the potential for worsened cardiorespiratory depression prior to using BYFAVO concomitantly with other drugs that have the same potential (e.g., opioid analgesics or other sedative-hypnotics). Administer supplemental oxygen to sedated patients through the recovery period. A benzodiazepine reversal agent (flumazenil) should be immediately available during administration of BYFAVO.

Risks From Concomitant Use With Opioid Analgesics and Other Sedative-Hypnotics

Concomitant use of BYFAVO and opioid analgesics may result in profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma, and death. The sedative effect of IV BYFAVO can be accentuated when administered with other CNS depressant medications (eg, other benzodiazepines and propofol). Titrate the dose of BYFAVO when administered with opioid analgesics and sedative-hypnotics to the desired clinical response. Continuously monitor sedated patients for hypotension, airway obstruction, hypoventilation, apnea, and oxygen desaturation. These cardiorespiratory effects may be more likely to occur in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, the elderly, and ASA-PS class III or IV patients.

Hypersensitivity Reactions 

BYFAVO contains dextran 40, which can cause hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, urticaria, pruritus, and anaphylaxis. BYFAVO is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to dextran 40 or products containing dextran 40. 

Neonatal Sedation

Use of benzodiazepines during the later stages of pregnancy can result in sedation (respiratory depression, lethargy, hypotonia) in the neonate. Observe newborns for signs of sedation and manage accordingly.

Pediatric Neurotoxicity

Published animal studies demonstrate that anesthetic and sedation drugs that block NMDA receptors and/or potentiate GABA activity increase neuronal apoptosis in the developing brain and result in long-term cognitive deficits when used for longer than 3 hours. The clinical significance of this is not clear. However, the window of vulnerability to these changes is believed to correlate with exposures in the third trimester of gestation through the first several months of life but may extend out to approximately 3 years of age in humans. 

Anesthetic and sedation drugs are a necessary part of the care of children needing surgery, other procedures, or tests that cannot be delayed, and no specific medications have been shown to be safer than any other. Decisions regarding the timing of any elective procedures requiring anesthesia should take into consideration the benefits of the procedure weighed against the potential risks.

Adverse Reactions

The most common adverse reactions reported in >10% of patients (N=630) receiving BYFAVO 5-30 mg (total dose) and undergoing colonoscopy (two studies) or bronchoscopy (one study) were: hypotension, hypertension, diastolic hypertension, systolic hypertension, hypoxia, and diastolic hypotension.

Use in Specific Populations

Pregnancy

There are no data on the specific effects of BYFAVO on pregnancy. Benzodiazepines cross the placenta and may produce respiratory depression and sedation in neonates. Monitor neonates exposed to benzodiazepines during pregnancy and labor for signs of sedation and respiratory depression.

Lactation

Monitor infants exposed to BYFAVO through breast milk for sedation, respiratory depression, and feeding problems. A lactating woman may consider interrupting breastfeeding and pumping and discarding breast milk during treatment and for 5 hours after BYFAVO administration. 

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. BYFAVO should not be used in patients less than 18 years of age.

Geriatric Use

No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these subjects and younger subjects. However, there is a potential for greater sensitivity (eg, faster onset, oversedation, confusion) in some older individuals. Administer supplemental doses of BYFAVO slowly to achieve the level of sedation required and monitor all patients closely for cardiorespiratory complications.

Hepatic Impairment

In patients with severe hepatic impairment, the dose of BYFAVO should be carefully titrated to effect. Depending on the overall status of the patient, lower frequency of supplemental doses may be needed to achieve the level of sedation required for the procedure. All patients should be monitored for sedation-related cardiorespiratory complications.

Abuse and Dependence

BYFAVO is a federally controlled substance (CIV) because it contains remimazolam which has the potential for abuse and physical dependence.
