Insights

The reported increase in net sales for Qelbree® and GOCOVRI® is a positive indicator of Supernus Pharmaceuticals' revenue growth trajectory, particularly in the central nervous system (CNS) therapeutic area. With Qelbree's net sales up by 129% and GOCOVRI's by 15% year-over-year, these products are becoming a larger part of the company's revenue stream. This shift is significant as it demonstrates successful product adoption and market penetration, which are critical factors for sustained growth in the pharmaceutical industry.

From a financial perspective, the operating loss reported on a GAAP basis may raise concerns among stakeholders regarding profitability. However, the non-GAAP operating earnings of $125.1 million, which exclude non-recurring and non-cash expenses, provide a different view of the company's core operating performance. This distinction is essential for investors who are evaluating the operational efficiency and underlying profitability of Supernus Pharmaceuticals. The company's guidance for 2024 suggests a cautious outlook with projected total revenue and non-GAAP operating earnings lower than the previous year, which could reflect anticipated market challenges or strategic investments.

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive, with a strong emphasis on innovation and pipeline development. Supernus Pharmaceuticals' pipeline updates, including the anticipated FDA approval and launch of SPN-830 for Parkinson's disease treatment, are crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. The progress in clinical trials for other CNS indications, such as treatment-resistant depression and epilepsy, positions the company to potentially address unmet medical needs, which can lead to market expansion and diversification of revenue sources.

Market dynamics, including patent expirations and generic competition, play a significant role in a company's financial health. The decline in net sales for Trokendi XR due to generic erosion is a typical industry challenge. Supernus' strategic focus on growing net sales of Qelbree and GOCOVRI, along with the development of novel product candidates, indicates an adaptive approach to offsetting revenue losses from legacy products. This strategy could potentially mitigate the impact of generic competition and support long-term growth.

The clinical developments of Supernus Pharmaceuticals, particularly the initiation of Phase IV studies for Qelbree in adults with ADHD and mood symptoms, are indicative of the company's commitment to expanding the therapeutic indications of its products. The use of the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS) as a primary outcome measure is aligned with industry standards for evaluating ADHD treatments. The robust growth in Qelbree prescriptions suggests strong efficacy and market acceptance, which are positive indicators for long-term revenue generation from this product.

Additionally, the progression of the company's pipeline, including SPN-820 for treatment-resistant depression and SPN-817 for epilepsy, reflects a strategic focus on CNS diseases with high unmet needs. The potential for novel first-in-class molecules like SPN-820 to change treatment paradigms could have substantial implications for patient care and the company's market positioning. The focus on treatment-resistant conditions, which are often challenging to manage with current therapies, not only addresses significant patient populations but also aligns with a trend towards personalized medicine in the industry.

  • Fourth quarter 2023 net sales of Qelbree® increased 97% to $46.4 million compared to fourth quarter 2022; Full year 2023 net sales of Qelbree increased 129% to $140.2 million compared to full year 2022.
  • Fourth quarter 2023 net sales of GOCOVRI® increased 10% to $32.0 million compared to fourth quarter 2022; Full year 2023 net sales of GOCOVRI increased 15% to $119.6 million compared to full year 2022.
  • Full year 2023 total revenues (GAAP) were $607.5 million; Full year 2023 total revenues excluding Trokendi XR® net product sales (non-GAAP)(1) increased 26% compared to full year 2022.
  • Full year 2023 operating loss (GAAP) was $(5.3) million; Full year 2023 operating earnings (non-GAAP)(2), were $125.1 million.
  • Full year 2024 total revenue (GAAP) guidance of $580 million to $620 million and operating earnings (non-GAAP)(3) guidance of $80 million to $110 million.

(Nasdaq: SUPN), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing products for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 and associated Company developments.

“Our performance in 2023 underscores our strong execution, with combined full year 2023 net sales of $259.8 million for our growth products, Qelbree and GOCOVRI, which far exceeded the decline in net sales of Trokendi XR. Furthermore, that represents 57% growth compared to full year 2022" said Jack Khattar, President and CEO of Supernus. "Qelbree delivered robust growth of 91% in prescriptions and benefited from a much improved gross-to-net adjustment resulting in 129%, growth in net sales."

Mr. Khattar added, "In 2024, we look forward to continued growth across our key growth products and the launch of SPN-830 in the second half of 2024 as we complete the transition from our legacy products to our growth products. In addition, in 2024 we anticipate several exciting clinical milestones as we progress our pipeline of novel product candidates."

Qelbree Update

  • Total IQVIA prescriptions were 617,192 for full year 2023, an increase of 91% compared to full year 2022.
  • The Company initiated a Phase IV open-label study to assess the efficacy of Qelbree over the course of 14 weeks of treatment in approximately 500 adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and mood symptoms. The primary outcome measure is change from baseline in the Adult ADHD Investigator Symptom Rating Scale (AISRS).

Product Pipeline Update

SPN-830 (apomorphine infusion device) for treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD)

  • As previously disclosed, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the resubmission of the New Drug Application for SPN-830 for continuous treatment of motor fluctuations ("off" episodes) in PD and set a user fee goal date (PDUFA date) of April 5, 2024.
  • Assuming FDA approval, the Company expects to launch SPN-830 in the second half of 2024.

SPN-820 – Novel first-in-class molecule that increases mTORC1 mediated synaptic function for depression

  • The Phase IIb multi-center randomized double-blind placebo-controlled parallel design study of SPN-820 in adults with treatment-resistant depression is ongoing. The study is examining efficacy and safety of SPN-820 over a course of five weeks of treatment in approximately 268 patients in up to 50 clinical sites. The primary outcome measure is the change from baseline to end of treatment period on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Total Score. Approximately 118 patients have been enrolled in the trial, to date. Topline data from the Phase IIb trial is expected in the first half of 2025.
  • The Company has initiated a Phase II open-label study in approximately 40 subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD). The primary objective of the study is to assess efficacy in MDD, as well as onset of efficacy.

SPN-817 – Novel first-in-class highly selective AChE inhibitor for epilepsy

  • An open-label Phase IIa clinical study of SPN-817 for treatment-resistant seizures is ongoing. The study is examining the safety and tolerability of SPN-817 as adjunctive therapy in adult patients with treatment-resistant seizures, as well as assessing efficacy. The Company expects to report interim results from approximately one-half of the targeted randomized patients in May 2024, and topline results for the full study in the second half of 2024.

Financial Highlights

Total revenues (GAAP and non-GAAP)

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, total revenues and total net product sales (GAAP) were $164.3 million and $156.0 million, respectively, compared to total revenues and total net product sales of $167.3 million and $163.8 million for the same periods in 2022. For the full year ended December 31, 2023, total revenues and total net product sales were $607.5 million and $573.9 million, respectively, compared to total revenues and total net product sales of $667.2 million and $649.4 million for the same periods in 2022. The decrease in net product sales in both periods was primarily due to the decline in net product sales of Trokendi XR. This decline in net product sales of Trokendi XR was partially offset by primarily an increase in net product sales of Qelbree and GOCOVRI for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and an increase in net product sales of Qelbree and GOCOVRI for the full year ended December 31, 2023.

Total revenues excluding Trokendi XR net product sales (non-GAAP) for the three months and full year ended December 31, 2023, increased 31% and 26%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022.

Operating earnings (loss) (GAAP and non-GAAP)

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, operating loss (GAAP) was $(1.0) million, compared to operating earnings (GAAP) of $34.3 million for the same period in 2022. For the full year ended December 31, 2023, operating loss (GAAP) was $(5.3) million, compared to operating earnings (GAAP) of $46.1 million for the full year 2022. The decrease in operating earnings (GAAP) in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 was primarily due to the $20.2 million intangible asset impairment charges, mainly related to XADAGO, as well as higher research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses. The decrease in operating earnings (GAAP) for the full year ended December 31, 2023 compared to same period in 2022 was primarily due to a decrease in net product sales of Trokendi XR, the aforementioned impairment charges partially offset by the growth in net product sales of Qelbree and GOCOVRI and a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2023.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, operating earnings (non-GAAP) were $47.1 million, compared to $57.6 million for the same period in 2022. For the full year ended December 31, 2023, operating earnings (non-GAAP) were $125.1 million, compared to $148.8 million for the full year 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains financial measures that present financial information which do not comply with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, or superior to measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP operating earnings adjusts for non-cash share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, intangible asset impairment charges and accretion of contingent consideration, and for factors that are unusual, non-recurring or unpredictable, and excludes those costs, expenses, and other specified items presented in the reconciliation tables in this press release. In addition to non-GAAP operating earnings, we also present total revenues excluding net product sales of products without exclusivity due to generic entrants, which is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as total revenues (GAAP) less net product sales of our products without exclusivity due to generic entrants, which as of the date of this press release, is equal to net product sales of Trokendi XR (GAAP). Beginning in the year a product loses exclusivity due to generic entrants we generally do not expect net product sales of such products to constitute a significant part of our revenue in the future. We believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplemental information to management, investors, analysts and others regarding the Company’s revenue and results of operations and assist management, investors, analysts, and others in understanding and evaluating our revenue growth and the performance of the business.

There are limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures and therefore comparability may be limited. These limitations include: non-GAAP financial measures that may not be entirely comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies; these may not reflect all items of income and expense, as applicable, that affect our operations; there may be potential differences among calculation methodologies; these may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies. We mitigate these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation. The Company’s 2024 financial guidance is also being provided on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP basis.
