- Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K. announced approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in March for the subcutaneous formulation of DARZALEX® (known as DALACURO® in Japan) for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Accordingly, Halozyme recognized
$5 million in milestone revenues. - The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson announced Health Canada approved DARZALEX® SC (daratumumab injection), a subcutaneous (SC) formulation of daratumumab, in combination with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (D-VCd, also known as DCyBorD) in April for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed light chain (AL) amyloidosis. There were previously no approved therapies for the disease.
- Janssen Biotech, Inc. received U.S. Food and Drug Administration accelerated approval in January for DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) in combination with bortezomib, cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone (D-VCd) for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed light chain (AL) amyloidosis. There were previously no approved therapies for the disease.
- In March, Horizon completed dosing for its first trial exploring a subcutaneous (SC) formulation of TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) using ENHANZE® technology. The trial is a small, single-dose Phase 1 pharmacokinetic trial which includes evaluating the use of ENHANZE® drug-delivery technology for a SC formulation, which could potentially shorten drug administration time, reducing healthcare practitioner time and offering additional flexibility and convenience for patients.
- Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) has advanced plans to initiate a Phase 3 study of nivolumab with ENHANZE® technology for patients with advanced or metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma during the second quarter of 2021. Accordingly, Halozyme recognized
$25 million in milestone revenues. - During the first quarter, argenx reached two important achievements related to its development of efgartigimod using ENHANZE® including:
- In February 2021, argenx announced a "go" decision for its late-stage ADHERE trial evaluating subcutaneous (SC) efgartigimod using ENHANZE® technology in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). argenx plans to continue enrollment to include approximately 130 patients to support potential registration of SC efgartigimod for the treatment of CIDP.
- In January 2021, argenx initiated a Phase 3 study of ARGX-113 using ENHANZE® technology in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, rare autoimmune diseases that cause painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes.

First Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights
- Revenue for the first quarter was
$89.0 million compared to$25.4 million for the first quarter of 2020. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by$30.0 million in milestone revenues from BMS and Janssen, an increase in royalty revenue attributable to subcutaneous DARZALEX® and an increase in product sales.

$9.0 million , compared to$10.2 million for the first quarter of 2020.

$11.1 million , compared to$12.6 million for the first quarter of 2020.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company reports non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company calculates non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount, and debt extinguishment expense. Reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. The Company evaluates other items of income and expense on an individual basis and considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to the Company's ongoing business operations and (iii) whether or not the Company expects it to occur as part of Halozyme's normal business on a regular basis. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. 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 may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Halozyme considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The non-GAAP measures also allow investors and analysts to make additional comparisons of the operating activities of the Company's core business over time and with respect to other companies, as well as assessing trends and future expectations.
Safe Harbor Statement
In addition to historical information, the statements set forth in this press release include forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company's expected future financial performance (including the Company's financial outlook for 2021) and expectations for future growth, profitability, revenue, operating income, cash flow, expenses and earnings-per-share and the Company's plans to continue its share repurchase program. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology may include the possible activity, benefits and attributes of ENHANZE®, the possible method of action of ENHANZE®, its potential application to aid in the dispersion and absorption of other injected therapeutic drugs and facilitating more rapid delivery of injectable medications through subcutaneous delivery. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's ENHANZE® business may include potential growth driven by our partners' development and commercialization efforts, the size and growth prospects of our partners' drug franchises, potential new ENHANZE® collaborations and collaborative targets and regulatory review and potential approvals of new ENHANZE® products. These forward-looking statements are typically, but not always, identified through use of the words "believe," "enable," "may," "will," "could," "intends," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "predict," "probable," "potential," "possible," "should," "continue," and other words of similar meaning and involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations contained in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including unexpected levels of revenues, expenditures and costs, unexpected delays in the execution of the Company's share repurchase program, unexpected results or delays in the growth of the Company's ENHANZE® business, or in the development, regulatory review or commercialization of ENHANZE® products, including any potential delays caused by the current COVID-19 global pandemic, regulatory approval requirements, unexpected adverse events or patient outcomes and competitive conditions. These and other factors that may result in differences are discussed in greater detail in the Company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
