SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 and provided an update on its recent corporate activities and outlook.

"The second quarter marked the achievement of multiple key milestones for Halozyme including two FDA approvals and one EMA approval for partnered drugs bringing the total number of FDA-approved products utilizing our ENHANZE® drug delivery technology to five," said Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer. "In addition, we are delighted to report that in the second quarter we delivered our first profitable quarter of expected sustainable profitability with earnings per share of $0.19. We see this as an important first step in our transformation to a high growth, high margin business delivering sustainable revenue growth and profitability over the long term. The events of the quarter were highlighted by our partner Janssen receiving approvals in both the U.S. and the EU for the subcutaneous form of DARZALEX® utilizing ENHANZE®, which is branded as DARZALEX FASPROTM in the U.S. We earned $25 million in total milestone payments from Janssen during the quarter, upon the first commercial sales in both markets. In late June, our partner Roche received FDA approval for Phesgo™, a fixed-dose combination of two monoclonal antibodies, Perjeta® and Herceptin®, utilizing our ENHANZE® technology for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. In addition to providing important new treatment options for patients, each of these newly-approved drugs represents the subcutaneous form of a growing, blockbuster franchise, and we expect their adoption to be an important driver of our growth and profitability in the coming years."

"I want to again express my gratitude to the Halozyme team, our partners and suppliers for their tireless work as we all navigate challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic," continued Dr. Torley. "Based on the latest information from our partners, I am pleased to report that we are maintaining our financial outlook for the full year 2020.  It is possible that our partners' timelines may change as a result of future changes related to COVID-19. We will continue to monitor this closely and provide updates as appropriate."

Second Quarter 2020 and Recent Highlights Include:

  • On June 29, the Company announced that Roche received FDA approval for Phesgo™ (pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and hyaluronidase-zzxf), a fixed-dose combination of Perjeta® and Herceptin® for subcutaneous injection utilizing ENHANZE® technology for the treatment of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Phesgo™ can be administered in approximately eight minutes for the initial loading dose and approximately five minutes for each subsequent maintenance dose. This is compared to approximately 150 minutes for a sequential infusion of a loading dose of Perjeta® and Herceptin® using the standard intravenous (IV) formulations, and between 60-150 minutes for subsequent maintenance infusions of the two medicines. Phesgo™ can be administered by a healthcare professional in a treatment center or at a patient's home.
  • On June 13, the Company announced that findings from Janssen's phase 3 ANDROMEDA (AMY3001) study evaluating subcutaneous daratumumab utilizing ENHANZE® in light-chain Amyloidosis were presented at the European Hematology Association 25th Annual Congress. Janssen reported that the study met the primary endpoint of percentage of patients with hematologic complete response.
  • On June 4, the Company announced that Janssen received European marketing authorization for the subcutaneous formulation of DARZALEX® (daratumumab) utilizing ENHANZE® for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma in all currently approved DARZALEX® intravenous (IV) formulation indications in frontline and relapsed / refractory settings. Subsequent launch of the product and first commercial sale in Europe resulted in a $10 million milestone payment in the quarter.
  • In June 2020, Bristol Myers Squibb initiated a Phase 1/2 study of ipilimumab in combination with nivolumab in multiple tumor types utilizing ENHANZE® technology.
  • On May 1, the Company announced that Janssen received U.S. FDA approval of DARZALEX FASPROTM (daratumumab hyaluronidase human- fihj) in four regimens across five indications in multiple myeloma patients, including newly diagnosed, transplant-ineligible patients as well as relapsed or refractory patients. As a fixed-dose formulation, DARZALEX FASPROTM can be administered subcutaneously over three to five minutes, significantly less time than IV DARZALEX®, which requires multi-hour infusions. Subsequent launch of the product and first commercial sale resulted in a $15 million milestone in the quarter.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue for the second quarter was $55.2 million compared to $39.1 million for the second quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by $32.3 million in collaboration payments from Janssen and Bristol Myers Squibb in the current period. Revenue for the quarter included $15.8 million in royalties, which compared to $18.1 million in the prior year period.
  • Research and development expenses for the second quarter were $9.0 million, compared to $33.9 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in expenses was due to a decrease in clinical trial activities-related costs as a result of the Company halting its oncology drug development efforts in November 2019.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were $11.0 million, compared to $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to lower compensation and commercial-related expenses related to the corporate restructuring announced in November 2019.
  • The Company reported the first quarter of what it expects will be sustainable profitability. Net income for the second quarter was $25.8 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to a net loss in the second quarter of 2019 of $14.6 million, or $0.10 per share.
  • Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $385.4 million at June 30, 2020, compared to $421.3 million at December 31, 2019.

Financial Outlook for 2020

The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and receives updates from its partners and suppliers on how their businesses are affected. Based on this information and Halozyme's planned expenditures for the year, the Company's 2020 financial guidance remains unchanged. For 2020 Halozyme continues to expect:

  • Revenues of $230 million to $245 million, representing growth of 17% to 25%;
  • Earnings per share on a GAAP basis of $0.60 to $0.75.

The Company remains committed to capital return and plans to repurchase an additional number of shares, up to an additional $96 million worth, during the remainder of 2020. The amount and timing of shares repurchased during 2020 will be subject to a variety of factors including market conditions, other business considerations and applicable legal requirements.
