DUBLIN, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2024 and affirmed guidance for 2024.

“In the first quarter of 2024, we delivered combined double-digit year-over-year growth from our key growth drivers: Xywav, Epidiolex and Rylaze. We also significantly advanced our zanidatamab program with the completion of the BLA for 2L BTC,” said Bruce Cozadd, chairman and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. “We believe the robust growth in patients benefitting from Xywav underscores the appreciation physicians and patients have for the long-term health benefits of reducing sodium and expect Xywav to remain the oxybate of choice. We see continued demand for Rylaze as the only non-E. coli asparaginase regimen that provides sustained activity throughout the course of treatment, and we expect continued growth of Epidiolex to be driven by geographic expansion, optimized dosing and data demonstrating its beyond-seizure benefits. Growing and durable revenues from Xywav, Epidiolex and Rylaze, coupled with our pipeline progress, drive our confidence in delivering on our guidance and objectives for 2024.”

Total revenues increased 1% in 1Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, driven by higher Oncology product sales of 13%, primarily due to continued growth in Rylaze/Enrylaze, which increased 20% to $102.8 million in 1Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, partially offset by lower neuroscience revenues. Total neuroscience revenue, including high-sodium oxybate AG royalty revenue, of $630.9 million decreased in 1Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to decreased Xyrem revenues, reflecting the adoption of Xywav by existing Xyrem patients, high-sodium oxybate competition and changes to formulary coverage, partially offset by increased royalty revenue received on net sales of high-sodium oxybate AG products and increased Xywav and Epidiolex/Epidyolex net product sales.

_________________________

1.

The non-GAAP effective tax rate increased in 1Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the mix of pre-tax income and losses incurred across tax jurisdictions.

Changes in operating expenses in 1Q24 over the prior year period are primarily due to the following:

  • Cost of product sales, on a GAAP basis, decreased in 1Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to lower acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up expense. Cost of product sales, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, in 1Q24 was in line with the same period in 2023.
  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased in 1Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, primarily due to increased compensation-related expenses driven by higher headcount in support of our key growth drivers, investment in our priority programs and litigation costs.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses increased in 1Q24 compared to the same period in 2023, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, primarily due to higher costs related to zanidatamab, as well as our other key pipeline programs, and an increase in compensation-related expenses driven by higher headcount in support of our development programs.
  • Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) expense in 1Q24, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, related to an upfront payment made in connection with our asset purchase and collaboration agreement with Redx Pharma plc.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and investments were $1.8 billion, and the outstanding principal balance of the Company’s long-term debt was $5.8 billion. In addition, the Company had undrawn borrowing capacity under a revolving credit facility of $500.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated $267.2 million of cash from operations reflecting strong business performance and continued financial discipline.

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 (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 (and the related per share measure) and its line item components exclude from GAAP reported net income (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 (and the related per share measure), adjust for the income tax effect of the non-GAAP adjustments. In this regard, the components of non-GAAP adjusted net income, 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 measure.

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, to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the Company’s business. 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.

Other risks and uncertainties of which the Company is not currently aware may also affect the Company’s forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated.

________________________________________________

Explanation of Adjustments and Certain Line Items:

1.

Diluted EPS/(LPS) was calculated using the “if-converted” method in relation to the 1.50% exchangeable senior notes due 2024, or the 2024 Notes, and the 2026 Notes, which we refer to collectively as the Exchangeable Senior Notes. In August 2023, we made an irrevocable election to fix the settlement method for exchange of the 2024 Notes to a combination of cash and ordinary shares of the Company with a specified cash amount per $1,000 principal amount of the 2024 Notes of $1,000. As a result, the assumed issuance of ordinary shares upon exchange of the 2024 Notes has only been included in the calculation of diluted net income per ordinary share, on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The potential issue of ordinary shares upon exchange of the 2026 Notes was anti-dilutive and had no impact on GAAP reported net loss per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2024. GAAP reported net income per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included 9.0 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the Exchangeable Senior Notes and the associated interest expense, net of tax, add-back to GAAP net income of $7.0 million. Non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 included 6.4 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the 2026 Notes and the associated interest expense, net of tax, add-back to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $4.4 million. Non-GAAP adjusted net income per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included 9.0 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the Exchangeable Senior Notes and the associated interest expense, net of tax, add-back to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $6.3 million.

__________________________

(1)

The GAAP effective tax rate for 1Q24 was derived from the income tax expense which arose primarily from tax shortfalls from share-based compensation. The GAAP effective tax rate for 1Q23 was derived from the income tax benefit which arose as a result of taxes arising on pre-tax income and losses across tax jurisdictions and deductions on subsidiary equity.
