BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVA) (“Innoviva” and “the Company”), a diversified holding company with a portfolio of royalties and a growing portfolio of healthcare assets in infectious disease and other areas of high unmet need, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.

• Gross royalty revenues of $111.7 million from Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”) for the second quarter of 2022 included royalties of $59.3 million from global net sales of RELVAR^®/BREO^® ELLIPTA^® and royalties of $9.6 million from global net sales of ANORO^® ELLIPTA^®.
• Income from operations decreased by 14% to $82.6 million, compared to the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to the accounting consolidation of Entasis’ financials, including its $20.0 million operating expenses.
• Decrease in fair values of equity and long-term investments of $58.6 million in the second quarter of 2022 was mainly due to the volatility in the capital markets.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $177.1 million in the first 6 months of 2022, compared to $168.7 million in the same period of 2021.
• Net cash and cash equivalents totaled $283.6 million, including $22.4 million of Entasis’ cash balance, and receivables from GSK totaled $111.7 million as of June 30, 2022.

Pavel Raifeld, Chief Executive Officer of Innoviva, Inc. stated: “This has been an exciting, transformative time for Innoviva as our core royalty business continued to deliver strong revenues, and we meaningfully advanced our strategy via key strategic and opportunistic transactions.”

Mr. Raifeld continued: “We are thrilled to complete the acquisition of Entasis with its strong pipeline anchored by differentiated, promising lead asset SUL-DUR. Our announced acquisition of La Jolla gives us a highly complementary, profitable commercial platform, creating a fully integrated business in the hospital and infectious disease spaces, diversifying our operations, and meaningfully enhancing long-term growth prospects. We view the recent divestiture of our stake in Theravance Respiratory Company as a very economically and strategically compelling transaction providing us with significant optionality. As a well-capitalized, highly cashflow generative company, we are strongly positioned for sustained value creation in the current market environment.”
