Acorda Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Acorda Therapeutics reported its Q3 2022 financial results, showing a net revenue increase for both INBRIJA and AMPYRA. INBRIJA U.S. sales reached $7.8 million, up 1% year-over-year, while AMPYRA revenue rose 5% to $21.1 million. The company secured a $16.5 million arbitration award from Alkermes, relieving it from royalty payments on AMPYRA. A special stockholders meeting is scheduled for November 4, 2022, to authorize a reverse stock split to avoid Nasdaq delisting. The 2022 guidance remains unchanged, with projected AMPYRA revenue between $68-78 million.
- INBRIJA U.S. net revenue of $7.8 million, a 1% increase YoY.
- AMPYRA net revenue of $21.1 million, a 5% increase YoY.
- Secured $16.5 million arbitration award from Alkermes, eliminating royalties for AMPYRA.
- AMPYRA revenue expected to continue declining due to lost exclusivity and market entry of generics.
- GAAP net loss of $13.9 million for Q3 2022, although improved from $27.1 million in Q3 2021.
- Cash reserves decreased to $34.2 million from $65.2 million at year-end 2021.

-
Reverse Stock Split Proposal: To authorize Acorda’s Board of Directors to implement a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of any whole number in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-20 within one year of the Special Meeting. This proposal is critical to get Acorda’s stock price above
per share in order to avoid being delisted from Nasdaq. Delisting could put the company in default to the holders of its Convertible Notes, potentially requiring Acorda to liquidate or file for bankruptcy. In a reverse stock split, shareholders would hold the exact same percentage of Acorda stock, with the same value as they did prior to the split.$1.00 - Adjournment Proposal: To approve one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal at the time of the Special Meeting, or in the absence of a quorum.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
In addition to non-GAAP net income (loss), we have provided non-GAAP projections of adjusted OPEX and adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted OPEX includes (i) research and development expenses and (ii) selling, general, and administrative expenses and excludes (i) costs of goods sold, (ii) amortization of intangible assets, (iii) change in fair value of derivative liability, and (iv) change in fair value of acquired contingent liability. Adjusted EBITDA is GAAP net income (loss) before income taxes excluding (i) non-cash compensation charges and benefits that are substantially dependent on changes in the market price of our common stock, (ii) interest due on our convertible debt, (iii) 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, (iv) changes in the fair value of acquired contingent consideration which do not correlate to our actual cash payment obligations in the relevant periods, (v) expenses that pertain to corporate restructurings which are not routine to the operation of the business, and (vi) 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. We are unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the forward-looking nature of the adjustments that are needed to determine this information, which includes information regarding future compensation charges, future changes in the market price of our common stock, and changes in the fair value of derivative and contingent liabilities, none of which are available at this time.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the calculation of the non-GAAP financial measures included herein may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, 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, (ii) non-cash charges that are substantially dependent on changes in the market price of our common stock, and (iii) other items as set forth above that are not ascertainable at the present time. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business and are important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding expected operating performance. Also, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company's business and evaluate its performance.

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 credit agreements, including the potential delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market which could result in a default under the indenture dated as of
These and other risks are described in greater detail in our filings with the
