DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Horizon Therapeutics plc (Nasdaq: HZNP) today announced second-quarter 2023 financial results.

“We delivered strong growth in the second quarter, with double-digit year-over-year growth in our core business and mid-teens growth sequentially,” said Tim Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon. “This performance was driven by exceptional 46% year-over-year KRYSTEXXA sales growth as a result of strong commercial execution and the success of our immunomodulation strategy, in addition to positive and consistent trends we are generating for TEPEZZA, which reflects the success of our expansion efforts to further penetrate the TED market and reach new prescribers. We delivered impressive 76% year-over-year UPLIZNA sales growth and see a long runway ahead as we progress our two Phase 3 programs in IgG4-RD and MG. We also announced several important clinical milestones for TEPEZZA, including strong data in low CAS and long-duration TED and data from our Phase 3 clinical trial in Japan, both of which we expect to contribute to the future growth of this medicine.”

Key Growth Drivers

TEPEZZA: TEPEZZA net sales in the second quarter were $446 million, representing a 10% sequential increase compared to the first quarter of 2023 and a 7% year-over-year decline compared to the second quarter of 2022. The TEPEZZA field-force expansion initiated late in 2022 continues to drive consistent and positive momentum in the business, including increases in new prescribers, patient enrollment forms and patient starts. Through the first half of 2023, as a result of the field-force expansion, the Company expanded its reach to new physician targets, which led to a 50% year-over-year increase in the number of ophthalmologists and endocrinologists prescribing TEPEZZA. In line with the Company’s expansion strategy, prescriber growth has largely come from ophthalmologists, with continued strong referral volume from endocrinologists.

In April 2023, the Company announced positive topline results from its TEPEZZA Phase 4 clinical trial in patients with low CAS and long-duration TED and received FDA approval for an update to the indication for TEPEZZA that supports its potential benefit in TED, regardless of disease activity or duration. The Company is executing on its payer strategy to educate key stakeholders and ease the access burden so all eligible patients can benefit from TEPEZZA. As a result of this process, large national and regional payers are beginning the process of updating their access requirements. To date, the Company has obtained favorable policy changes for greater than 20% of U.S. covered lives, which are expected to take effect in the second half of 2023. The Company expects these strategies and initiatives to further develop the TED market and impact net sales in 2024.

In addition, the Company made significant advancements in its global expansion strategy by announcing the positive topline results from its TEPEZZA Phase 3 clinical trial in Japanese patients, as well as the approval of TEPEZZA in Brazil for patients with TED. There are no medicines approved for the treatment of TED in Brazil or Japan, representing a significant unmet need in both markets. These accomplishments, which are expected to impact net sales beginning in 2025, are important milestones in the Company’s global expansion strategy to bring TEPEZZA to more patients worldwide.

KRYSTEXXA: KRYSTEXXA net sales in the second quarter were a record $244 million, representing a 31% sequential increase compared to the first quarter of 2023 and a 46% year-over-year increase compared to the second quarter of 2022. KRYSTEXXA net sales are now annualizing at a nearly one-billion-dollar run rate. The second-quarter results were driven by execution across all phases of the patient journey – demand generation, stakeholder education and adherence to treatment. The Company continued to see significant uptake from both its rheumatology and nephrology market segments in the quarter, with KRYSTEXXA with immunomodulation usage now at more than 70% of new patient starts. The Company’s efforts to educate physicians and key stakeholders continues to lead to strong patient growth from both new and existing prescribers across both market segments.

UPLIZNA: UPLIZNA net sales in the second quarter were a record $68 million, representing a 27% sequential increase compared to the first quarter of 2023 and a 76% year-over-year increase compared to the second quarter of 2022. Net sales in the U.S. were $53 million, an increase of 76% year-over-year, driven by strong commercial execution. The second-quarter results were driven by robust demand generation and new patient starts, increased depth among the Company’s existing prescribers and strong adherence to maintenance treatment. The Company continues to drive uptake among both patients naïve to biologics as well as patients switching from competitive biologic therapies, establishing UPLIZNA as the fastest-growing biologic in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) year-to-date by market share. The Company expects to advance its global expansion strategy, with multiple planned international launches in 2023. The Company also continues to make progress on its two Phase 3 programs in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and myasthenia gravis (MG).

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Horizon provides certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit ratio, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP tax benefit (expense) and tax rate, non-GAAP operating cash flow and certain other non-GAAP income statement line items, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information on Horizon’s performance, operations, expenses, profitability and cash flows. Adjustments to Horizon’s GAAP figures exclude, as applicable, acquisition and/or divestiture-related costs, costs associated with our pending transaction with Amgen Inc., including responding to a second request review of the transaction by the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and subsequent lawsuit seeking to enjoin the transaction, manufacturing facility start-up costs, restructuring and realignment costs and gain on sale of asset, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, inventory step-up expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, goodwill and long-lived assets impairment charges, gain (loss) on equity security investments and other non-cash adjustments. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. Horizon maintains an established non-GAAP cost policy that guides the determination of what costs will be excluded in non-GAAP measures. Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon’s financial and operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s historical and expected financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Horizon’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Beginning with the third quarter of 2022, the Company is separately presenting upfront, milestone, and similar payments pursuant to collaborations, licenses of third-party technologies, and asset acquisitions as “Acquired in-process research and development and milestones” expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in this line item would have historically been recorded to research and development (“R&D”) expenses. The Company believes the new classification assists users of the financial statements in better understanding the payments incurred to acquired in-process research and development, or IPR&D. Prior period consolidated statements of comprehensive income have been reclassified to conform with the new classification. There were no acquired IPR&D and milestones expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

NOTES FOR CERTAIN INCOME STATEMENT LINE ITEMS - NON-GAAP

1. Primarily represents transaction and integration costs, including, advisory, legal, consulting and certain employee-related costs, incurred in connection with our acquisitions and divestitures.
   
2. Primarily represents transaction-related costs, including, advisory, legal, consulting and field-based employee retention costs, incurred in connection with the transaction with Amgen. The legal costs include costs incurred in responding to the FTC’s second request and subsequent lawsuit seeking to enjoin the transaction.
   
3. We held investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values of $9.8 million and $8.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which are included in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized net unrealized gains of $2.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, due to the change in fair value of these securities.
   
4. Primarily represents severance and consulting costs related to the wind down of our former inflammation business during 2022 and rent and maintenance charges as a result of vacating the leased Lake Forest office in the first quarter of 2021.
   
5. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $1.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and $5.4 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of manufacturing facility start-up costs related to our drug product biologics manufacturing facility in Waterford, Ireland.
   
6. Intangible amortization expenses are primarily associated with our developed technology related to TEPEZZA, KRYSTEXXA, RAVICTI, UPLIZNA, PROCYSBI, ACTIMMUNE, RAYOS and BUPHENYL.
   
7. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized in cost of goods sold $1.6 million and $31.3 million, respectively, for inventory step-up expense related to UPLIZNA inventory revalued in connection with the Viela Bio, Inc. acquisition. We recorded $17.4 million and $44.6 million of UPLIZNA inventory step-up expense in cost of goods sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Because inventory step-up expense is related to an acquisition, will not continue indefinitely and has a significant effect on our gross profit, gross margin percentage and net income for all affected periods, we exclude inventory step-up expense from our non-GAAP financial measures.
   
8. Represents amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs associated with our debt.
   
9. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, gain on sale of asset represents a $2.0 million contingent consideration payment related to the sale of MIGERGOT in 2019. The contingent consideration payment was triggered during the second quarter of 2023 and it was received in July 2023.
   
10. Represents share-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock unit and performance stock unit grants to our employees and non-employee directors, and our employee share purchase plan.
    
11. Represents depreciation expense related to our property, plant, equipment, software and leasehold improvements.
    
12. Income tax adjustments on pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments represent the estimated income tax impact of each pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment based on the statutory income tax rate of the applicable jurisdictions for each non-GAAP adjustment.
    
13. Our interim goodwill impairment test in the second quarter of 2022 indicated an impairment which represented the difference between the estimated fair value of the former inflammation reporting unit and its carrying value. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge of $56.2 million in June 2022 representing the full amount of goodwill for the former inflammation reporting unit.
