DUBLIN, March 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2022 and provided financial guidance for 2023.

"2022 was a year of significant execution across our business that exemplified our purpose to innovate to transform the lives of patients and their families and advanced Jazz towards achieving Vision 2025. Our substantial top-line growth was led by the strength of our commercial franchises, including the continued adoption of Xywav^® across both narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia (IH), meaningful Epidiolex^® growth, and robust demand for Rylaze^®, driven by critical unmet patient need," said Bruce Cozadd, chairman and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. "In addition to achieving considerable revenue growth in 2022, we generated $1.3 billion in cash from operations and significantly improved our operational efficiency in line with our objectives for Vision 2025. Our strong financial performance, alongside a more disciplined approach to capital allocation, allowed us to delever our balance sheet six months ahead of our stated target, while investing in multiple strategic transactions that have the potential to create meaningful long-term value for patients and shareholders. We are proud of our 2022 accomplishments, which position us in 2023 to grow our top-line revenues through continued commercial execution, enhance our pipeline investments in innovation, and demonstrate continued progress towards achieving Vision 2025."

"Building on several transformative years for R&D at Jazz, we have enhanced the breadth and depth of our pipeline, as well as our capabilities. In 2022, we added three promising candidates to our pipeline: zanidatamab, a late-stage novel HER2-targeted bispecific antibody with biparatopic binding, JZP441, an orexin-2 receptor agonist, and JZP898, a differentiated, conditionally-activated interferon alpha (IFNα) INDUKINE™ molecule. We're very encouraged by the positive top-line results from the pivotal trial of zanidatamab in biliary tract cancers (BTC) and the first overall survival data for zanidatamab from the Phase 2 first-line (1L) metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA) trial that was announced at ASCO GI," said Rob Iannone, M.D., M.S.C.E., executive vice president, global head of research and development of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. "With the initiation of multiple clinical trials in 2022, we continue to expand our pipeline into disease areas with significant unmet patient need and market potential, including difficult-to-treat cancers and Parkinson's disease tremor, and we've rapidly progressed JZP441 since bringing it in-house to enable initial proof-of-concept in healthy volunteers in 2023. We enter 2023 with meaningfully increased investment in R&D, which coupled with our upcoming catalysts and expanded capabilities, gives us confidence in delivering sustainable long-term value."

• In December 2022, Zymeworks announced positive top-line data from the pivotal HERIZON-BTC-01 clinical trial investigating zanidatamab as monotherapy in patients with previously treated HER2-amplified and expressing BTC. Zanidatamab as monotherapy produced a confirmed objective response rate (cORR) of 41.3% and median duration of response of 12.9 months in patients.
• In January 2023, the Company and Zymeworks announced the first overall survival data of 84% at 18 months from a Phase 2 trial of zanidatamab in combination with chemotherapy in 1L patients with HER2-expressing metastatic GEA.
• The pivotal trial, HERIZON-GEA-01, evaluating zanidatamab in 1L GEA is ongoing and top-line data are expected in 2024.

Key Pipeline Highlights

JZP150:

• JZP150, a selective fatty acid amide hydrolase, or FAAH, inhibitor, is in clinical development for the potential treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• Patient enrollment is ongoing and top-line data read-out is anticipated in late 2023.
• The Company received Fast Track Designation for JZP150 development in PTSD from FDA, underscoring the significant unmet medical needs of patients.

Suvecaltamide (JZP385):

• Suvecaltamide, a highly selective modulator of T-type calcium channels, is in clinical development for the treatment of essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson's disease tremor.
• Patient enrollment is ongoing in the Phase 2b ET trial and top-line data read-out is anticipated in 1H24.
• In 4Q22, the first patient was enrolled in a Phase 2 trial in patients with Parkinson's disease tremor.

JZP441:

• JZP441, is a potent, highly selective oral orexin-2 receptor agonist designed to activate orexin signaling with the potential to be applicable in the treatment of narcolepsy, IH and other sleep disorders.
• In 4Q22, the first participant was enrolled into the Phase 1 development program to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of JZP441 in sleep-deprived healthy volunteers.

JZP898:

• JZP898 is an engineered IFNα cytokine pro-drug that is activated specifically within the tumor microenvironment where it can stimulate IFNα receptors on cancer-fighting immune effector cells. The aim is to minimize the severe toxicities that have been observed with systemically active recombinant IFNα therapy and maximize clinical benefit when administered as monotherapy or in combination with other agents. Type 1 interferon signal transduction by IFNα agonism is a clinically validated mechanism of action, and IFNα has been shown to work synergistically in combination with other proven therapies including immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted therapies and chemotherapy. This allows for potential application across a wide range of cancer types, combination regimens and lines of therapy.
• The Company expects to file an Investigational New Drug application for JZP898 in the U.S. this year.

Reconciliations of applicable GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information are included at the end of this press release.

Total Revenues

Total revenues increased 18% in 2022 and 8% in 4Q22 compared to the same periods in 2021.

• Neuroscience net product sales in 2022 increased 18% to $2,760.9 million compared to 2021 primarily driven by the inclusion of Epidiolex/Epidyolex net product sales for the full year and oxybate net product sales which increased 10% to $1,978.9 million. Neuroscience net product sales in 4Q22 increased 8% to $740.6 million compared to 4Q21 primarily driven by increased Xywav and Epidiolex net product sales, partially offset by the decline in Xyrem revenues, reflecting the continued adoption of Xywav by patients with narcolepsy.
• Oncology net product sales in 2022 increased 19% to $873.8 million compared to 2021 primarily driven by the inclusion of Rylaze net product sales for the full year, following its launch in July 2021. Oncology net product sales in 4Q22 increased 8% to $223.9 million compared to 4Q21 primarily driven by Rylaze net product sales, which increased 25% to $81.0 million.

Operating Expenses and Effective Tax Rate

Changes in operating expenses in 2022 and 4Q22 over the prior year periods are primarily due to the following:

• Cost of product sales increased in 2022 and 4Q22 compared to the same periods in 2021, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, due to an expense for past royalties payable under a settlement agreement with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. In addition, cost of product sales, on a GAAP basis, in 2022 included increased inventory fair value step-up expense of $50.3 million compared to 2021, driven by the inclusion of a full year expense.
• Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, on a GAAP basis, decreased in 2022 and 4Q22 compared to the same periods in 2021, due to lower GW acquisition related transaction and integration expenses and lower Sunosi^® (solriamfetol) related costs, offset by restructuring costs and costs related to program terminations and increased investment in sales and marketing, primarily relating to Xywav and, for the full year period, the inclusion of GW related headcount costs for the full year and the loss on the disposal of Sunosi. SG&A expenses, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to the inclusion of GW related headcount costs for the full year and increased investment in sales and marketing, offset by lower Sunosi related costs. SG&A expenses, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, decreased in 4Q22 compared to 4Q21 primarily due to lower Sunosi related costs, offset by increased investment in sales and marketing.
• Research and development (R&D) expenses increased in 2022 and 4Q22 compared to the same periods in 2021, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, primarily due to the addition of costs related to zanidatamab, JZP898 and JZP441, and increased costs for JZP150, offset by a reduction in costs related to JZP458 (Rylaze), following its approval. R&D costs also increased in 2022, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, due to increased compensation related expenses driven by the inclusion of GW related headcount costs for the full period.
• Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense in 4Q22, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, related to payments of $375.0 million to Zymeworks, in connection with our licensing and collaboration agreement. Acquired IPR&D expense in 2022, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, also included upfront payments of $50.0 million to Sumitomo in relation to our licensing agreement and $15.0 million to Werewolf, in connection with our licensing and collaboration agreement.
• The impairment charge in 2022, on a GAAP basis, related to an acquired IPR&D asset impairment relating to the discontinuation of our nabiximols program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as adjusted or non-GAAP adjusted) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. In particular, the Company presents non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) (and the related per share measure) and its line item components, as well as certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures derived therefrom, including non-GAAP adjusted gross margin percentage and non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) (and the related per share measure) and its line item components exclude from GAAP reported net loss (and the related per share measure) and its line item components certain items, as detailed in the reconciliation tables that follow, and in the case of non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) (and the related per share measure), adjust for the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments and the impact of the change in the statutory tax rate in the U.K. In this regard, the components of non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss), including non-GAAP adjusted cost of product sales, SG&A expenses and R&D expenses, are income statement line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall non-GAAP adjusted net income (loss) measure.

The Company also uses a non-GAAP net leverage ratio calculated as net debt (defined as total GAAP debt, net of cash and cash equivalents) divided by non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA for the most recent period of four consecutive completed fiscal quarters. EBITDA is defined as net loss before income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain other charges and adjustments as detailed in the non-GAAP net leverage ratio reconciliation table that follows and is calculated in accordance with the definition of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA as set out in the Company's credit agreement entered into in May 2021 (the Credit Agreement).

The Company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors and analysts and that each of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the Company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the Company's results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, to identify operating trends in the Company's business and to understand the Company's ability to pay off its incurred debt. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are regularly used by investors and analysts to model and track the Company's financial performance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management also regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company's business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are important internal measurements for Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management, the Company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts since these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the Company uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles in the reconciliation tables that follow. 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. Likewise, the Company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
