Acorda Therapeutics Reports Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

  • INBRIJA® (levodopa inhalation powder) Q2 2022 U.S. net revenue of $7.4 million; 16% increase from Q2 2021; 100% increase over Q1 2022
  • Ex-U.S. INBRIJA Q2 additional revenue of $1.9 million
  • AMPYRA® (dalfampridine) Q2 2022 net revenue of $18.2 million; maintaining 2022 guidance of $68-$78 million
  • FAMPYRA® royalties reverted to Acorda in late Q2

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) today provided a business update and reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“Second quarter 2022 INBRIJA U.S. net sales doubled over the first quarter of 2022, following a challenging Q1 due to the COVID Omicron surge; U.S. net sales also grew 16% over Q2 2021. New prescriptions also increased in the second quarter over the first, and continued to increase into July,” said Ron Cohen, M.D., Acorda’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In June, Esteve launched INBRIJA in Germany. We reported $1.9 million in revenue from our distribution agreement with Esteve. Our double-digit, tiered royalties on Biogen’s ex-U.S. sales of Fampyra also reverted to us late in the second quarter, with the fulfillment of our obligation to Healthcare Royalty Partners, and we will begin to receive the full value of these royalties in the third quarter. In addition, we are pleased that Biogen has now launched Fampyra in China.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported INBRIJA U.S. net revenue of $7.4 million, compared to $6.4 million for the same quarter in 2021. The Company also reported Ex-U.S. INBRIJA net revenue of $1.9 million in the second quarter related to the Esteve launch in Germany.

The Company reported AMPYRA net revenue of $18.2 million, compared to $21.8 million for the same quarter in 2021.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were $1.5 million, including negligible share-based compensation expenses, compared to $2.4 million, including $0.2 million of share-based compensation for the same quarter in 2021.

Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were $30.1 million, including $0.4 million of share-based compensation, compared to $32.4 million, including $0.7 million of share-based compensation for the same quarter in 2021.

Change in fair value of derivative liability for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was negligible, compared to $(0.8) million for the same quarter in 2021.

Provision (non-cash) for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $26.6 million, compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.5 million for the same quarter in 2021.

The Company reported a GAAP net loss of $46.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, or $2.78 per diluted share. GAAP net loss in the same quarter of 2021 was $22.9 million, or $2.29 per diluted share. The increased GAAP net loss in the current period reflects the application of Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which resulted in a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax assets with no impact to cash.

Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was $52.8 million, or $3.15 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net loss in the same quarter of 2021 was $18.7 million, or $1.87 per diluted share. This quarterly non-GAAP net loss measure, more fully described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” excludes share-based compensation charges, non-cash interest charges on our debt, changes in the fair value of acquired contingent consideration, changes in the fair value of derivative liability related to our 2024 convertible senior secured notes, and expenses that pertain to non-routine corporate restructurings. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included with the attached financial statements.

At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $36.5 million, compared to $65.2 million at year end 2021. Restricted cash includes $12.4 million in escrow related to the 6% semi-annual interest portion of the convertible note exchange completed in December 2019.

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2022, Acorda continues to expect AMPYRA net revenue to be $68 – $78 million, and operating expenses to be $110 – $120 million. The operating expense guidance is a non-GAAP projection that excludes restructuring costs and share-based compensation as more fully described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and also certain historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, Acorda has provided non-GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to exclude the items below, and has provided 2022 operating expense guidance on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP net income (loss), when viewed in conjunction with actual GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing and projected operating performance because this measure excludes (i) non-cash compensation charges and benefits that are substantially dependent on changes in the market price of our common stock, (ii) non-cash interest charges related to the accounting for our convertible debt which are in excess of the actual interest expense owing on such convertible debt, as well as non-cash interest related to the Fampyra royalty monetization and acquired Biotie debt, (iii) changes in the fair value of acquired contingent consideration which do not correlate to our actual cash payment obligations in the relevant periods, (iv) expenses that pertain to corporate restructurings which are not routine to the operation of the business, and (v) changes in the fair value of derivative liability relating to the 2024 convertible senior secured notes, which is a non-cash charge and not related to the operation of the business. The Company believes its non-GAAP net income (loss) measure helps indicate underlying trends in the Company's business and is important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding projected operating performance. Also, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company's business and to evaluate its performance.

In addition to non-GAAP net income (loss), we have provided 2022 operating expense guidance on a non-GAAP basis, as the guidance excludes restructuring costs and share-based compensation charges. Due to the forward looking nature of this information, the amount of compensation charges needed to reconcile this measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is dependent on future changes in the market price of our common stock and is not available at this time. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure, when viewed in conjunction with actual GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing and projected operating performance because it excludes (i) expenses that pertain to corporate restructurings not routine to the operation of our business, and (ii) non-cash charges that are substantially dependent on changes in the market price of our common stock. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure helps indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business and is important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding expected operating performance. Also, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company's business and to evaluate its performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding management's expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects should be considered forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including: we may not be able to successfully market AMPYRA, INBRIJA or any other products under development; the COVID-19 pandemic, including related restrictions on in-person interactions and travel, and the potential for illness, quarantines and vaccine mandates affecting our management, employees or consultants or those that work for other companies we rely upon, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations or product sales; our ability to attract and retain key management and other personnel, or maintain access to expert advisors; our ability to raise additional funds to finance our operations, repay outstanding indebtedness or satisfy other obligations, and our ability to control our costs or reduce planned expenditures; risks associated with the trading of our common stock and our reverse stock split; risks related to our corporate restructurings, including our ability to outsource certain operations, realize expected cost savings and maintain the workforce needed for continued operations; risks associated with complex, regulated manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals, which could affect whether we have sufficient commercial supply of INBRIJA to meet market demand; our reliance on third-party manufacturers for the production of commercial supplies of AMPYRA and INBRIJA; third-party payers (including governmental agencies) may not reimburse for the use of INBRIJA at acceptable rates or at all and may impose restrictive prior authorization requirements that limit or block prescriptions; reliance on collaborators and distributors to commercialize INBRIJA and AMPYRA outside the U.S.; competition for INBRIJA and AMPYRA, including increasing competition and accompanying loss of revenues in the U.S. from generic versions of AMPYRA (dalfampridine) following our loss of patent exclusivity; the ability to realize the benefits anticipated from acquisitions because, among other reasons, acquired development programs are generally subject to all the risks inherent in the drug development process and our knowledge of the risks specifically relevant to acquired programs generally improves over time; the risk of unfavorable results from future studies of INBRIJA (levodopa inhalation powder) or from other research and development programs, or any other acquired or in-licensed programs; the occurrence of adverse safety events with our products; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or class-action litigation; failure to protect our intellectual property, to defend against the intellectual property claims of others or to obtain third-party intellectual property licenses needed for the commercialization of our products; and failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in adverse action by regulatory agencies.

These and other risks are described in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may not actually achieve the goals or plans described in our forward-looking statements, and investors should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements made in this press release are made only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this press release, except as may be required by law.
