SAN DIEGO, Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) today introduced 2021 financial guidance and commented on its outlook for the year.

"2020 was a year of tremendous accomplishment at Halozyme highlighted by our successful transition to revenue growth and profitability, 2 U.S. FDA approvals and 2 European Commission approvals for ENHANZE^® partner products, and successful completion of $150 million in share repurchases in 2020," said Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer.  "We are delighted with the strong first six months post launch market adoption of DARZALEX FASPRO^® in the US, which drove a return to royalty revenue growth in 2020.  In 2021 we expect continued strong revenue and earnings growth driven by continued uptake of subcutaneous DARZALEX^® in US and international markets and by uptake of Roche's Phesgo^®, which received approval from the European Commission in late December 2020.  In addition, we expect to create catalysts for growth well into the future based on the advancement of multiple partners' ENHANZE^® drug development programs."
